Kulev Keeps The Pressure High
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Alex Kulev has been enjoying a massage since he started in the first level of the day and with plenty of pressure on himself, he applied the same on his opponents as well ever since. His stack has kept growing, too, and he also raked in the latest pot after a tussle with Marco Zevola.
With 5,300 in the middle to the 
turn, Kulev checked in the cutoff. Zevola on the button bet 1,400 only for Kulev to check-raise to 6,200 and win the pot uncontested.
