Kulev On The Rise

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Alex Kulev
Alex Kulev

Action was picked up on the river with 9,400 in the center between Alex Kulev and an opponent.

The board read {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades} opponent in the big blind checked to Kulev who was in late position and Kulev moved all-in for 14,000 effective and the opponent wasted little time before making a sighing call.

Opponent: {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Alex Kulev: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

His opponent's two pair was no good against the ace-high flush of Kulev and Kulev pushed his stack up the chip counts while eliminating another player.

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Gerold Saeman
Gerold Saeman

A player raised under-the gun to 1,000 and was flatted by Gerold Saeman in early position as well as 3 additional players behind. In the big blind Matthew Lambrecht three-bet to 7,500 which all the players called and the flop was seen six ways.

The flop came out {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Lambrecht checked to his opponent who moved all-in for 7,100 and Gerold Saeman called in early position which all other players folded to in response.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Gerold Saeman: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}

The turn {3-Clubs} gave Saeman a set of threes and the river {a-Hearts} did not improve his opponent enough and Saeman took down the massive multi-way pot.
