Kolev Hits River to Triple
Yuliyan Kolev raised to 530,000 from under the gun, leaving 100,000 behind. Jake Greenbaum, in the small blind, announced "six-thirty," as he wanted to put Kolev all-in. He was then informed that the minimum raise would be to 960,000, which he was forced to do. Boris Kolev then jammed as the big stack from the big blind.
"Oh shit!" said Y. Kolev. "Someone wants to bust me."
With the field on a pay jump, he sent a couple of time banks to the dealer. "Just in case," he added, throwing in his third time bank.
His final chip went into the middle, and Greenbaum folded.
Yuliyan Kolev: 7♣7♦
Boris Kolev: A♠10♠
Another "oh shit," came from Y. Kolev after his namesake paired up on the A♦6♣2♥ flop. He remained behind on the 8♠ turn, but shouted "Opa!" when he spiked a set on the 7♠ river.
