Pateychuk Puts Kolev to the Test
Level 35
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Andrey Pateychuk opened to 7,500,000 from the small blind with J?8? and Boris Kolev defended from the big blind with Q?10?.
Pateychuk made a gutshot on the Q?10?5? flop while Kolev made top two pair. Pateychuk bet 4,000,000 and Kolev called.
On the 5? turn Pateychuk bet 16,000,000. Kolev just called.
On the K? river Pateychuk jammed, covering Kolev who had 27,900,000 behind. Pateychuk used a time extension before making the right call, leaving Pateychuk short-stacked. Kolev, who had lost a series of small hands since doubling up earlier, got all of it back and more as he scooped another gargantuan pot.
