Kolev Slows Down Lasouski
Level 27
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 5♥9♣2♠ and about 6,000,000 in the middle, Artsiom Lasouski bet 2,000,000 from the small blind and Boris Kolev called from the cutoff.
Lasouski fired another barrel for 3,000,000 on the 7♠ turn and Kolev raised to 7,000,000. Lasouski made the call.
Both players checked the K♣ river. Lasouski had 6♠5♠ for a pair of fives and missed flush draw while Kolev tabled A♦9♦ for second pair to scoop a massive pot and take the chip lead from Lasouski.
