Kulbe Showers Howard
Action folded to Taylor Howard in the cutoff and he opened to 2,000. Lucas Kulbe defended his big blind and the flop came 
. Kulbe checked to Howard, who continuation-bet 2,000, and Kulbe called.
The turn came 
and Kulbe checked again. Howard fired a second barrel of 5,000 and Kulbe check-raised to 20,000, more than enough to put Howard all in. Howard wasted no time calling.
Howard: 
Kulbe: 
Howard's overpair was up against a flopped top two pair with a flush draw to go with it, leaving him with seven outs to a nonflush set or counterfeit two pair. Unfortunately for him, the river 
fell in Kulbe's favor and Howard was off to fire what will likely be one last shot at the event, given just over one level remains in late registration for the tournament.
