Kolev's Aces Eliminate a Player

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

Just before the blinds went up, a player in early position jammed in their remaining 75,000 chips, and a player in the hijack raised to 135,000. Boris Kolev then shoved in his 570,000 stack on the button and the hijack folded.

Early Position: {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Boris Kolev: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The early position player ran into rockets and was drawing thin on the {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop. The {5-Hearts} gave him some hope, but the {2-Clubs} swiftly crushed any hope and sent him to the rail.

Meanwhile, Kolev, who won a Wynn Winter Classic event less than a week ago, took the pot to chip up.

A player in early position opened to 35,000 and Shannon Shorr defended the big blind.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Shorr check-called for 60,000. Both players checked the {7-Diamonds} turn.

The {a-Clubs} completed the board and Shorr check-raised an 80,000 bet up to 240,000. His opponent tanked before eventually tossing his cards into the muck to send the pot to Shorr without a showdown.
