Kolev Extracts Value from Chaoui
Level 26
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Boris Kolev min-raised from the cutoff and Mehdi Chaoui defended the big blind.
Chaoui checked after the dealer spread out the K♥5♥6♦ flop. Kolev bet 1,500,000 and Chaoui check-rasied to 4,400,000. Kolev didn't take long to make the call.
The 6♣ turn checked through for the 10♠ to drop on the river. Chaoui checked again, and Kolev put out a bet of 8,000,000. Chaoui stared Kolev down whilst thinking over his options. In the end, Chaoui made the call. Kolev showed K♠4♣ for top pair, and Chaoui could only muck.
