Kolev Doubles Through Soverel
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Yuliyan Kolev raised from the cutoff to 200,000, and only Sam Soverel called, defending his big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of J♠K♦Q♥, and Soverel started with a check. Kolev continued for 140,000, before Soverel put in a check-raise to 400,000. Kolev then took a moment to survey the situation before moving all in for 1,440,000.
Soverel called, and the players flipped their cards over.
Yuliyan Kolev: K♠K♣ 
Sam Soverel: 10♣9♠
Soverel was ahead, having flopped a straight, and Kolev needed the board to pair.
"Dealer, put a jack out there", said Kolev, and as if by magic, the turn card was the J♦, securing Kolev a double up.
The dealer added the 5♠ river to the board before counting the all-in stack and sliding Kolev his double up.
