Sotiropoulos Finds a Double
Before the blinds went up, Georgios Sotiropoulos opened to 12,000 from middle position and was called by Michael Rossitto on the button. Yuliyan Kolev, who recently took down WSOP Event #37: $1,500 Millionaire Maker No-Limit Hold'em for a career high $1,125,189, three-bet to 43,000 out of the small blind and Sotiropoulos responded by moving all in. Rossitto got out of the way while Kolev called with the bigger stack to put Sotiropoulos at risk.
Georgios Sotiropoulos: 
Yuliyan Kolev: 
Sotiropoulos was flipping for his tournament life but found immediate help on the 
flop. The 
turn left Kolev looking for one of the two remaining jacks to bust his opponent but was unable to hit on the 
river, leaving himself short while sending a large pot Sotiropoulos' way.
