Kulev's Double Misfortune
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The pot had swelled to around 210,000 on the 7?10?4?9?Kx board when PokerNews began covering the action. Alex Kulev, with over 200,000 chips left, decided to go all in, which was promptly called by Jack Corrigan. Kulev revealed 9?8?, while Corrigan showed A?A?. Unfortunately for Kulev, Corrigan doubled up, leaving Kulev with only 60,000 remaining.
A few hands later, Kulev found himself all in again, this time against Michael Gathy, who had opened from under the gun.
Alex Kulev: 2?2?
Michael Gathy: A?K?
The board revealed 8?9?K?5?6?, giving Gathy a pair of kings and marking the end of Kulev's run in the tournament.
