Bolek's Kings Reel in a Big One

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The board read {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Martin Mathis bet 55,000. Chris Bolek made the call and the turn fell the {a-Clubs}. Mathis thought for a second before slamming a stack in the middle that was big enough to put Bolek all in.

Bolek snap-called with his remaining 243,000 chips and players then flipped their hands. Mathis turned over {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for a pair of aces and Bolek then tabled {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for a flopped set.

Mathis was drawing dead to the {4-Hearts} on the river and Bolek got a full double up just after the three table redraw.
