Chaoui Doubles Through Kolev
Level 27
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
When it folded to Mehdi Chaoui in the small blind he shoved for 11,700,000 and Boris Kolev called in the big blind.
Mehdi Chaoui: A♣9♦ 
Boris Kolev: K♣7♠
The tournament would get heads-up if Kolev could find a king or seven. The board ran out K♦J♦3♦4♠6♦, which gave Kolev top pair, but a diamond on the river saved Chaoui from elimination.
