Kokoulin Bluffs Kozub Off the Winner
Level 32
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Tomasz Kozub limped from the small blind with A♣J♣9♠5♣ and Volodymyr Kokoulin raised to 480,000 from the big blind holding A♥K♥9♦6♣. Kozub called.
The flop came a monotone 8♦J♦A♦ where Kozub check-called a bet of 225,000 from Kokoulin.
A 6♦ saw Kozub go into check-call mode again after Kokoulin fired 625,000.
When a fifth diamond, the 10♦, landed on the river, Kozub checked and Kokoulin shoved. Kozub had 2,655,000 behind but elected to fold his top two pair, and Kokoulin added yet more chips to his stack.
