Kolev Hits 200,000

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With 13,000 in the pot on a 635 flop, Christopher Ewing checked from the small blind and Adam Friedman also tapped the table from the hijack. Yuliyan Kolev was on the button and bet 3,500, then Ewing check-raised to 11,000. Friedman quickly folded, but Kolev called.

A J on the turn saw Ewing slow down with a check, then Kolev bet 27,500. Ewing instantly gave it up, and Kolev's stack joined the double-century club.
