Kenjic Gets Max Value

Nível 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Boris Kolev opened to 20,000 from under the gun and was called by Jovan Kenjic in the big blind.

The flop came 3♠3♦A♠. Kenjic checked, Kolev fired a 15,000 continuation bet, Kenjic check-raised to 60,000 and Kolev called.

On the 7♥ turn Kenjic fired a nearly pot-sized bet of 180,000 and was once again called by Kolev.

Kenjic moved all in for 448,000 on the Q♦ river, sending Kolev deep into the tank.

"I don't think I can fold" he commented after nearly five minutes of contemplation. Shortly afterwards, he flicked in the call.

Kolev had A♦9♦ for aces up but Kenjic tabled A♥3♥ for a flopped full house to take down a gargantuan pot.
