Rabichow Loses Flip and Busts

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Kevin Rabichow
Kevin Rabichow

Mustapha Kanit opened to 5,000 from the cutoff and was called by Brian Kim on the button. Kevin Rabichow was in the small blind and mulled over his options before deciding to move all in for 105,000.

Kanit asked for a count and jammed as the big stack and Kim quickly folded.

Kevin Rabichow: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Mustapha Kanit: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Despite Kanit making a set on the {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop, Rabichow added more outs as he had a double-gutter to the straight. However, no nine or king appeared on the {5-Clubs} turn or {2-Spades} river and he exited the Main Event.

Zamani Chips Up Slightly

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ben Lamb raised it up on the button for Martin Zamani to defend the big blind. On a {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop, Zamani checked and then called a bet of 6,000. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn was checked by both and that led to the {10-Spades} river.

Zamani cut out some chips and then announced a bet worth 27,000, which triggered a snap-fold from Lamb.

Kulev Clear Chip Leader After Busting Tulin

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Nikolai Tulin
Nikolai Tulin

Nikolai Tulin limped in from the small blind and called after Alex Kulev made it 10,000 from the big blind.

Tulin check-called a pot-sized bet of 22,000 on the {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} flop which brought in the {a-Hearts} turn. Tulin checked once more and Kulev kept on the pressure by firing for another 65,000. Tulin thought over his options and then moved all in for around 140,000 and Kulev snap-called.

Nikolai Tulin: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}
Alex Kulev: {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Kulev flopped a straight but wasn't the guaranteed winner just yet as Tulin had outs to the flush. The {a-Clubs} completed the board and Kulev hoovered in the massive pot.
