Kolev Hangs On

Erick Torres

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

[Removed:548] opened from the cutoff, but was met with an all-in from Yuliyan Kolev for 290,000 from the big blind. [Removed:549] put in the call to put Kolev at risk.

Yuliyan Kolev: 5♠5♦ All in
[Removed:548]: A♠Q♦

Kolev needed to dodge some overcards to stay alive, and the flop was clean for his holding as it fanned out 7♦6♠K♦.

The 4♦ turn was safe for Kolev, and the 10♠ awarded him the pot as [Removed:549] was chopped down after the loss.

Yuliyan Kolev	590,000 205,000	205,000

Valentino Konakchiev opened the action with a raise to 35,000 from the button. Leonard Maue popped it to 150,000 from the big blind and was called by Konakchiev to send them to a flop.

Maue bet 85,000 on the J♣3♦J♠ flop, and Konakchiev called.

Both players opted to check the 3♣ turn, which brought about the 4♣ river.

Maue staged a big bet of 400,000 and put it out toward the middle. The bet sent Konakchiev into the tank. After some time, Konakchiev chose to fold to relinquish the pot to Maue.

Erick Torres

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mike Matusow jammed for 230,000 from the hijack and was called by Benjamin Chalot on the button to put Matusow at risk.

Mike Matusow: A♦8♣ All in
Benjamin Chalot: A♠Q♣

Matusow was well behind against the better ace of Chalot; however, the flop had other plans for Matusow as it came K♣6♦8♠ to reverse the tables on Chalot.

The 10♣ turn did not change the rankings of the hand, and the 7♦ river completed the board to award Matusow the double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Benjamin Chalot	1,050,000 250,000	250,000

Mike Matusow	560,000 130,000	130,000

Both players checked the 8♠7♥2♦ flop leading to the J♦ turn. Soverel check-called a 150,000 bet from Miegel.

Miegel bet 450,000 when checked to on the 4♣ river and Soverel called again. Miegel showed a set with 8♣8♥ and Soverel's hand hit the muck.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

David Kaufmann raised from the cutoff to 40,000 and swiftly faced a three-bet from Yuliyan Kolev on the button. Kolev made it 110,000 to play, and only Kaufmann called.

The dealer burned and turned three, revealing the 3♠9♣10♥ flop. Kaufmann checked in flow, and Kolev continued for 80,000.

Kaufmann gave it some thought, but after a minute or so of consideration, opted to fold.

The 9♠ turn led to Ortega jamming to put Zhou at risk. The all-in bet sent Zhou into the tank for a considerable amount of time before he eventually decided to fold to yield the pot to Ortega.
