Kulev Doubles Through Heath

Niveau 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 50,000 in early position and was called by Ben Heath on the button and Alex Kulev in the big blind.

On the Q♦8♦2♣ flop, Kulev checked to Ponakovs, who continued with a bet of 115,000, which Heath called.

Kulev took some time to consider the spot before moving all in for 730,000. Ponakovs folded and after a brief period of thought, Heath called.

Alex Kulev: Q♠8♠ All in
Ben Heath: K♥Q♥

Kulev was in great shape for a double-up with top two pair against Heath's top pair queens.

The 10♥ turn and 5♦ river did not alter matters, sending a chunky pot to Kulev.
