Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
There was a full board of 4♥4♣A♣9♦7♣ when Daniel Neilson bet 1,600,000 and Boris Kolev called. Neilson turned over 10♦9♠, but Kolev had J♣J♦ to take the pot with jacks and fours.
On the next hand, Neilson raised to 800,000 and Kolev called. The board was 2♣J♦A♠ and Kolev check-called a bet of 600,000. The turn was 5♠ and Kolev check-called again, this time for 2,600,000. Both players checked the 8♦ river and Kolev turned over J♥7♦ for a pair of jacks. Neilson tossed the losing hand in the muck.
