Small Pots; Kolev On the Rise While Garza Loses Minimum
Yuliyan Kolev won the blinds with a raise once and Benjamin Kaupp then limped the small blind for Raul Garza to check the option. On the flop, both players checked and Kaupp bet the turn for 35,000. Garza raised to 100,000 and won the pot.
Kolev then raised and bet a flop to win the next hand, as Gregory Wish gave up the pot.
Kaupp opened to 65,000 soon after and was called by Garza on the button and Robert Cowen in the big blind. The trio checked the flop and turn. Cowen check-folded the river to Kaupp's bet worth 125,000 as Garza called.
Kaupp tabled the for kings full and Garza mucked a king with a smile on the face and said "It feels like I won the hand".
Kolev then lost a portion of his stack after defending the big blind and folding to Wish's flop bet.
