Kulev on The Rise
Level 16
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic raised to 50,00 from the hijack, which was called by Alex Kulev in the small blind and Jean-Noel Thorel in the big blind.
The flop came 3♦10♠A♦ and it was checked to Kaladjurdjevic who bet out 30,000. Kulev then put in a raise to 95,000, which got Thorel to fold, and Kaladjurdjevic made the call.
After the J♥ on the turn, Kulev moved all-in and was called by Kaladjurdjevic for his stack of 265,000, putting himself at risk.
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: J♠10♦ 
Alex Kulev: A♦10♠
It was a brutal turn card for Kaladjurdjevic, giving him the worse two pair, and he could not improve after the 4♥ hit the river, sending Kaladjurdjevic to the rail.
