Belcher Defends and Wins

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

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 6,000 from the cutoff and was called by both Alex Kulev on the button and Matthew Belcher in the big blind.

The flop of K♦5♥4♠ was checked through

On the 9♠ turn, the action checked to Kulev who bet 13,000. Belcher called and Ponakovs raised to 65,000. Kulev folded and Belcher called once again.

The river came the A♠ and both players checked. Belcher tabled K♥J♠ for a pair of kings, which was a winner.
