Level 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Samuel Mullur opened the hijack to 8,000 and Joao Vieira called on the button. In the big blind, Alex Kulev three-bet to 48,000. Mullur called while Vieira quickly folded.

On the 4♣3♠3♦ flop, Kulev continued for one-third as he bet 36,000 and Mullur put in the call.

The 8♦ turn checked through to the 5♥ river which saw Kulev lead for 135,000. Mullur wasted little time before he put in the call.

Alex Kulev: 9♥9♦
Samuel Mullur: J♠J♦

Both had an overpair to the board but the jacks of Mullur were best as he scooped another pot.
