Aces Versus Kings, No Blood Spilled

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Yuliyan Kolev
Yuliyan Kolev

Facing a raise to 700 from the player under the gun, Yuliyan Kolev three-bet to 2,400. The action then folded to Mattia Tagliavini in the big blind, who four-bet to 6,500. The original raiser folded, but Kolev moved all in for roughly 24,000. Tagliavini called, putting himself at risk with just a few chips less.

Mattia Tagliavini: KK All in
Yuliyan Kolev: AA

The dealer spread a 897 flop, followed by a J turn.

The 10 river completed the board, and as Tagliavini pushed his chips into the middle and prepared to leave, the dealer pointed out that he had chopped the pot, owing to the straight on the board.
