Kudryavtsev Bubbles the Merit Poker High Roller
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Sergey Kudryavtsev jammed for 162,000 from the cutoff and Davor Pistalo made the call out of the small blind.
Sergey Kudryavtsev: K♣8♣ 
Davor Pistalo: K♠K♥
Kudryavtsev had the shortest stack in the tournament and needed a lot of luck to crack Pistalo's cowboys.
The A♣J♣Q♠ flop offered up some chip opportunities for Kudryavtsev, and he gained outs to win in the form of a flush draw on the Q♣ turn. It wasn't to be as the 6♠ completed the board.
Kudryavtsev was the bubble boy of the tournament, and the remaining players were now in the money.
