Kolev Cracks Kings to Double Up
Level 35
: 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Action folded around to Fabrizio Gonzalez in the small blind who raised to 1,600,000. Yuliyan Kolev three-bet jammed in the big blind for 8,100,000 to put himself at risk and Gonzalez snap called.
Yuliyan Kolev: A♠Q♦ 
Fabrizio Gonzalez: K♥K♣
The flop came 8♥Q♠9♣, with Gonzalez still in the lead with his pair of kings.
"Queen me," shouted Kolev as the dealer put out the A♣ turn. Although it wasn't a queen, it improved Kolev to two pair, aces and queens.
The river landed the 7♣, keeping Kolev's tournament hopes alive.
