Koldoff Shoves Big with Rockets

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Donovan Koldoff opened to 6,500 from middle position and picked up two callers: Justin Kalvari and James Miao, both on the button.

Seemingly frustrated, Koldoff suddenly grabbed a tower of 5,000 chips — worth roughly 90,000 — and shoved it into the middle of the table. Kalvari quickly got out of the way, but Miao went into the tank, prompting a visibly anxious reaction from Koldoff.

After a long pause, Miao eventually folded, and Koldoff exhaled in relief before turning over AA — the rockets.
