Gabdullin Gives Up the Pot and Chip Lead on the River
Level 25
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Damir Gabdullin raised to 300,000 on the button, Alex Kulev three-bet to 1,200,000, and Gabdullin called.
Kulev checked the 10♠8♠5♣ flop and Gabdullin bet 750,000. Kulev stuck around to see the 4♣ turn and checked over to Gabdullin again, and this time Gabdullin bet 2,000,000. Kulev called once more.
The A♠ fell on the river and Kulev checked for a third time. Gabdullin slowed down and checked behind with Q♥J♠, and Kulev showed 6♥5♥ for a pair of fives to win the big pot and take over the chip lead.
