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.
