Guo Liang Wei: 10♠10♣
Kolev was dominated, but the board ran out 8♦3♥6♠5♥4♥ and his rail went mad as he rivered a straight to double up his stack.

Guo Liang Wei limped in on the button and Boris Kolev checked his option in the big blind.
The A♣2♦6♦ flop saw Kolev check-call a bet of 300,000 from Wei.
The 7♥ turn saw a repeat of the action; this time Wei sized up to 600,000.
The 3♦ river prompted a third check from Kolev. Wei fired one last time for 1,600,000, sending Kolev into the tank. Kolev thought for several minutes before making the call. Wei rolled over K♦7♠ for second pair which was, much to Kolev's surprise, the best hand, earning him the pot.

PokerStars listened to feedback from female poker players on how to draw women to the game, and now the poker site is responding.
The upcoming PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas festival will feature a $330 buy-in Women's Event on Nov. 5. Notably, the event has a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool attached.
Last year's NAPT Women's Event had a $360 price tag and drew 94 entrants for a prize pool of $28,200. That means PokerStars is expecting this year's event to be an even greater success.
The Women's Event will get underway at 12:30 p.m. local time on Nov. 5 and allows for unlimited reentry. The event will feature 30-minute levels and will see players starting with stacks of 30,000.
