Tulepbergenov Doubles Up, With Some Help From a Friend
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Before Azamat Tulepbergenov looked at his hand, he showed his cards to a friend sitting at an adjacent table who told him to go all in. Tulepbergenov then shoved all in for 175,000 as action folded to Hadar Hason in the cutoff, who reshoved. The rest of the table got out of the way.
Azamat Tulepbergenov: 
Hadar Hason: 
Tulepbergeneov had woken up with kings and stayed in front on the 
board to double up. After the hand, some of his tablemates questioned whether his friend had touched the cards.
"That would be illegal," one player said.
"I swear I didn't touch the cards," Tulepbergenov's friend replied.
