Kolev Takes a Chunk Off Vaskaboinikau
Level 21
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
On the first hand of the final table, Geoffrey Mooney opened to 300,000 in the cutoff with K♠J♦ and Jessica Teusl called on the button, as did Mikalai Vaskaboinikau in the big blind.
All three players checked to the river on a board of A♥7♥3♥J♣K♦. Mooney then bet 500,000 with his two pair, and both opponents folded.
Vaskaboinikau then raised to 250,000 on the button and Boris Kolev called in the small blind.
The flop came K♥8♣6♥ and Vaskaboinikau bet 350,000. Kolev called, and they both checked the 2♠ turn.
Kolev led out for 950,000 on the 6♣ river, and Vaskaboinikau called with K♠3♦ for two pair. Kolev, though, showed K♣J♣ and took the pot with his jack-kicker.
