Kulev Wins a Classic Flip; Kisacikoglu Busts Kuznetsov
Alex Kulev raised to 16,000 on the button before Byron Kaverman three-bet to 105,000 in the small blind. Stephen Chidwick then moved all in and Kulev called for 103,000. Kaverman burned through several time banks as he tanked for more than a minute before folding.
Alex Kulev: Q♦Q♥
Stephen Chidwick: A♣K♦
The flop came Q♣9♠2♠ and Kulev made top set to take a big lead in the hand. The 2♥ turn improved him to a full house, and he secured the double up once the 5♥ fell on the river. Kaverman then admitted he saw one of Kulev's queens before the action. "The way you put it in, I assumed you had queens," Kaverman told him.
At the same time at another table, Nikita Kuznetsov was all in for his last 95,000 from the button and up against Orpen Kisacikoglu in the hijack.
Nikita Kuznetsov: K♦10♦
Orpen Kisacikoglu: K♥Q♦
Kisacikoglu had Kuznetsov dominated as the board ran out 8♥7♣5♣3♦4♦, sending Kuznetsov to the rail.
