Messick Takes Two Pots Off Kolev in a Row

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Yuliyan Kolev raised to 105,000 with the {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Ryan Messick called in the small blind with {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for the {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop to appear. Messick check-called for 80,000 and both checked the {5-Diamonds} on the turn. After the {q-Clubs} river, Messick bet 300,000 and "bucket man" Kolev counted his chips before folding.

Two hands later, Kolev opened to 105,000 with {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Messick three-bet to 280,000 in the cutoff with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. What followed was the reluctant call by Kolev and the very same duo headed to the {j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop. The Bulgarian checked and subsequently called a bet worth 250,000.

Following the {3-Clubs} turn, Kolev checked again and Messick moved all-in for 1,610,000 total to send his opponent into the blender. Kolev found a fold.
