Neilson Jams River to Send Kolev Deep Into the Tank
Boris Kolev raised to 600,000 from the button and Daniel Neilson defended the big blind.
The dealer spread the Q♣5♠2♠ flop, Neilson checked, and Kolev bet 400,000. Neilson responded by check-raising to 1,400,000, and Kolev called.
The A♥ landed on the turn and Neilson checked. Kolev bet 3,600,000 and Neilson called.
The 3♠ fell on the river and Neilson moved all in for 8,050,000. Kolev stretched his arms behind his head and squirmed in his chair as he went deep into the tank.
"Why... doesn't make sense," Kolev pondered.
Kolev continued to deliberate for nearly ten minutes as he switched off between watching Neilson and contemplating possibilities.
"Queen-something of spades?" Kolev asked his Aussie opponent.
Neilson continued to shuffle his chips as he stared at the board and kept silent. Eventually, Kolev sent his cards into the muck and Neilson followed suit as he collected the pot.
