Frietez Up to His Old Tricks

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Ivan Frietez won the EPT Gran Final last season but didn't make too many friends along the way due to throwing a few angles along the way. He's not making too many friends at his table today either.

There was a raise to 1,100 that Frietez three-bet up to 3,400 before Yuliyan Nikolaev Kolev moved all-in for 10,500 from the blinds. The original aggressor folded to leave the decision on the Venezuelan. He has some polished rocks with him that seems to help him make a decision and he threw them twice and studied there pattern before nodding at the dealer and calling.

Neither player wanted to reveal their hand and the dealer grew frustrated. Kolev broke first and tabled {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. It was now that Frietez revealed his hand -- {k-Clubs}{k-Clubs}.

The board ran {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} to see the kings hold. Frietez is up to 62,000 but he had to endure complaints from his table mates as he stacked his chips, now valued at 62,000.
