Kolev Talks Himself Into a Call in Massive Pot
There was already around 300,000 in the middle on a board of 
when Fahredin Mustafov, in early position, moved all in. Boris Kolev, in the big blind with around 190,000 behind, was faced with a decision for his tournament life.
"What you thinking now? Call or fold," Mustafov asked him.
"I think you have nine-ten the way the hand was played," Kolev replied.
"Or seven-six," Mustafov said.
"Seven-six I can beat," Kolev added.
A large crowd began gathering around the table as Kolev continued to tank. "I folded a hand I usually three-bet just to come see this," Gabi Livshitz said as he wandered over from another table.
"It's okay if you call time. Or maybe I never fold," Kolev finally said. "Okay, I call," he added as he tossed in a chip.
Mustafov turned over 
for the nut straight and Kolev flashed 
before heading for the exit.
"I didn't know it was your birthday. Nice gift," a tablemate told Mustafov following the hand.
