Kolev Gets Paid With Rivered Flush
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Boris Kolev kicked things off with a button raise to 90,000 and found a caller in Mehdi Chaoui in the big blind.
On the 10♣6♣10♦ flop, Chaoui check called Kolev’s bet of 60,000.
Both players checked the Q♠ turn.
The river brought the 4♣, and Chaoui led for 280,000. Kolev responded with a raise to 560,000, and Chaoui went into the tank before making the call. Kolev tabled A♣7♣ for a rivered flush and Chaoui’s cards went into the muck.
“Why didn’t you raise to 640,000?” Chaoui asked. “Because I wanted you to call,” Kolev responded.
