Kulev Makes Two Pair to Double Through Stumbo
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action was on the flop on a board of J?8?9?. Alex Kulev was all in against Anthony Stumbo, who had the slightly bigger stack as players turned their cards.
Alex Kulev: A?K?
Anthony Stumbo: 9?7?
Kulev had a flush draw along with overcards to the board. Stumbo had a pair of nines with a gutshot straight draw.
The turn came the A? and the river was the K?, which gave Kulev two pair with his aces and kings. He won the pot and took nearly all of Stumbo's chips.
Stumbo got the rest of his chips in the middle the next hand and managed to triple up to stay in the game.
