Kulev Doubles as Beresford Falls

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alex Kulev
Alex Kulev

Alex Kulev was all in and at risk for 79,000 from the big blind against Dylan Destefano in early position, who had him covered.

Alex Kulev: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Dylan Destefano: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Kulev had his opponent dominated and held for a double as the board ran out {9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, which Dan Shak must've folded a big piece of because he slammed the table when the river card hit.

Around the same time, Vicente Delgado bought back into the event and $50,000 7-Handed champion Conor Beresford made his exit.

"There's No Folding Range!": Addamo Floats Beresford

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Addamo
Michael Addamo

In a three-way pot on a board of {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}, Dimitar Danchev checked in the big blind and Conor Beresford checked from the hijack before Michael Addamo bet 5,500 on the button. Danchev folded and Beresford check-raised to 14,500. Addamo called.

Beresford bet 8,000 on the {q-Diamonds} turn and Addamo sat perfectly still before raising to 24,000. Beresford folded to hang onto his remaining 33,500.

"I don't know why I tried against this guy. There's no folding range!" lamented Beresford. "But I'll keep f***ing fighting."

Holz Looks Up a Bluff to Double Through Worre

Level 8 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Fedor Holz
Fedor Holz

Fedor Holz was at risk of busting his second bullet when he bet 21,500 on the river on a board of {3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and his heads-up opponent, Eric Worre, raised to put Holz all in for his final 100,000 or so.

Holz went deep into the tank and used several time banks before landing on a call. It was the right move as Worre showed a bluff with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} before Holz tabled the winner with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

Pablo Brito Silva: {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Chad Eveslage: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
