Lupuleac Five-Bets Kolev

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yuliyan Kolev opened from middle position and Alexandru Lupuleac put in a three-bet to 22,000 from the hijack. The rest of the field got out of the way and then Kolev put in a four-bet to 60,000, leaving himself around 100,000 behind. Lupuleac then five-bet all in, and Kolev quickly folded.

Lupuleac had a deep run in the Warm Up this series, finishing 19th. Currently, he has a stack of around 350,000, which is the average stack as Level 15 passes its midway point.
