Alex Bolotin knows what it's like to win in the Amazon Room - he took down the 2009 Ante Up for Africa Charity Event - but prior to 2014 he had never had the honor of sliding a WSOP gold bracelet on his wrist. In 2007 he finished runner-up to Bill Edler in a six-handed event, and he also reached final tables in 2006 and 2008.
That all changed on Sunday, as he defeated 2013 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event champion Dimitar Danchev heads up to bank $259,211 and that elusive gold bracelet. The Belarusian was all smiles after the win, and is quite proud of his European heritage - prior to this win he sat atop the all-time Belarusian money list, and now with over $2.4 million in earnings he's extended his lead on Vadim Kursevich to over $400,000.
Bolotin hit a very big two-outer against two-time WSOP bracelet winner Josh Arieh during four-handed play, spiking an ace for a set after getting all of his chips in the middle with an overpair against a flopped set of tens.
On the final hand, the Bulgarian grinder attempted an all-in river bluff with just queen high. Bolotin tanked for a considerable amount of time before calling with top pair, and Danchev acknowledged the skillful call. The two exchanged a handshake and brief pleasantries, then Danchev was off to the cage to collect his first six figure score since the 2013 PCA.
He, like Bolotin, leads his home country in all-time earnings with over $3.2 million.
The final day of this shootout event started with 12 players, including two-time WSOP bracelet winner Josh Arieh, bracelet winner Steven Loube, and Maxx Coleman and Jon Lane, who both made deep runs in the 2013 WSOP Main Events. Recent WPT winner Jared Jaffee and Steven Geralis both exited before the unofficial final table, and Colin York was bounced on the official final table bubble.
Coleman lost a race with ace-queen suited against Arieh's pocket jacks, exiting in ninth place, and then Arieh recorded a double elimination. All of the money went in preflop, with David Trager holding a pair of sevens, Shawn Busse ace-jack, and Arieh ace-queen. The flop changing nothing, but Arieh made a pair of queens on the turn, and the river was a blank.
Arieh recorded a fourth knockout at the final table, eliminating Douglas Foster in sixth place, and Steven Loube ran into the pocket queens of Boloton to bust in fifth place.
Arguably the most important hand of the tournament came in Level 4, and it led to Arieh's demise. He had Bolotin all in and at risk for nearly half of the chips in play with a set of tens, and Bolotin was drawing to two outs or running straight cards with pocket aces. The 
spiked down on the turn, giving him a set of aces, and the river was a brick. Ten hands later, Arieh hit the rail after getting all of his chips in the middle with two pair against a made flush. The two-time bracelet winner failed to fill up on the river, and was eliminated.
Three-handed play lasted roughly two hours, and it took a cooler to eliminate Lane. Danchev flopped a set of deuces against Lane's pocket aces, and all of the money went in the middle. Neither the turn nor the river improved Lane's hand, and he was off to the cage to collect $100,239.
Heads-up play lasted a total of 87 hands, and Bolotin never relinquished the chip lead. While Danchev was min-raising on the button and three-betting to smaller amounts, Bolotin was constantly raising to three-times the big blind, and three-betting quite large. On the final hand, Bolotin three-bet to 150,000 over an open to 50,000 from Danchev. Bolotin tossed out a continuation bet on a king-high flop, then opted to check-call a bet on the turn and then an all-in bet on the river. Danchev tabled total air, and Bolotin revealed a king in order to capture his crown.
Congratulations to Bolotin for the win, his second at the WSOP and his first in a bracelet event. Be sure to follow our continuos coverage of the 2014 World Series of Poker right here on PokerNews.com!
