Kukhtarev Turns His Attention to Main Event
Level 9
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Dmitry Kukhtarev, who is fresh off a 12th-place finish in the $2,200 Grand Final, is now running up a stack in the Main Event!
Halil Tasyurek made it 24,000 to go from the hijack and Kukhtarev called from the big blind to see a flop of J♣4♠Q♣, where he check-called a bet of 12,000 from Tasyurek.
A 2♣ fell on the turn and after Kukhtarev checked, Tasyurek put out a bet of 25,000. Kukhtarev needed some extra time to decide how to proceed, but did eventually fold. However, not much damage was done to his stack as he has around 800,000 in front of him.
Dmitrii Kopyl, who won the Merit Poker Carmen Series Warm Up, is on the same table and has around 250,000 to play with.
