Mayer Survives on the Final Table Bubble
Level 10
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alex Kulev raised to 21,000 from under the gun, and Thomas Alfred Mayer jammed the big blind for about 81,000. Kulev called.
Thomas Alfred Mayer: A♠K♦
Alex Kulev: 9♠7♠
Mayer had the best hand with big slick, although Kulev had two live cards with five to come.
Kulev picked up a straight draw on the 6♥3♦8♦ flop, but was unable to improve to more than nine-high after the 8♥2♥ completed the board, and Mayer doubled.
