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 K54 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 KJ for a pair of kings, which was a winner.
