Kolev Beats Same Hand to Increase Large Stack

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Shakhabiddin Muradov raised to 2,000 under the gun before Boris Kolev three-bet to 6,000 from middle position. Rafael Navas Robles then called cold from the cutoff and Imad Derwiche jammed all in for 35,000 on the button.

Muradov quickly folded, after which Kolev stuck in a call. Navas Robles got out of the way as well and the two players showed down.

Boris Kolev: AK
Imad Derwiche: AK

Both played Big Slick, but the 257 flop gave Kolev a flush draw. The 6 turn bricked out, but the J river gave Kolev his flush and eliminated Derwiche from the Main Event on his second and final bullet.

Kolev, meanwhile, crossed the 200,000-chip mark by winning this pot and became one of the biggest stacks in the room.
