Kolev Cracks Romero's Cowboys

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Boris Kolev
Boris Kolev

Boris Kolev opened in middle position before a short stack three-bet shoved for about 90,000. James Romero came in over the top for about 350,000 before Kolev, who had both his opponents covered, called to create a three-way showdown.

Short Stack: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
James Romero: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Boris Kolev: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

It appeared to be an amazing spot for Romero to double through Kolev while eliminating another opponent. But instead, Kolev improved to a full house after the {3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs} ran out on the board to send both Romero and the short-stacked player to the rail.
