Kulev Triples Up
Alex Kulev opened to 3,000,000 on the button holding A♠4♠, leaving himself just 500,000 behind. Yuri Dzivielevski called from the small blind with J♠10♠ and Teun Mulder also came along from the big blind with K♠9♦, taking the players three-ways to the flop.
The dealer fanned the 9♠7♠4♣ flop, which saw Dzivielevski bet 2,500,000. Mulder made a call and Kulev moved all in for his last 500,000. There was plenty to work with for all players with Dzivielevski having flopped a flush and straight draw, Mulder hitting top pair, and Kulev flopping bottom pair and the nut flush draw.
The 7♦ was turned, which didn't change the standings, and Mulder remained ahead. After seeing Dzivielevski check, Mulder bet 3,000,000. Dzivielevski called and the 2♠ completed the board, bringing in the spade flush.
Action checked to showdown and Kulev tripled up from the hand, with Dzivielevski taking the side pot.
