Kolev Turns the Tables
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With the pot at around 40,000 and the flop showing 5♠4♥6♦, Boris Kolev checked from the cutoff to Cheng Zhao on the button, who bet 12,000.
The Q♦ on the turn saw Kolev check-call Zhao’s 32,000 bet.
On the 8♣ river, Zhao slowed down and checked back after Kolev checked. Kolev tabled A♦Q♠ for top pair with top kicker, and Zhao’s hand went into the muck.
