Kulev Joins the Main Event

Alex Kulev has just taken his seat in the Main Event and is sitting with a fresh starting stack of 250,000. Kulev took down the opening event of the festival, the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em Opener, for $384,150 a few days after doing a heads-up deal with Damir Gabdullin.

Kulev went on to win the extra $70,000 and the trophy after starting the heads-up match with a 3:2 chip disadvantage.

Gabdullin and Kulev are now seated again at the same table, sitting directly opposite each other, and are likely to tangle again.
