The Kostelac Cooler
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Bin Weng opened from under the gun to 4,000 before he got a call in the cutoff from John Kostelac, the button, and both of the blinds called.
The 2?7?7? flop landed and action checked to Kostelac who bet 5,000. The big blind called and then Weng check-raised to 15,000. Kostelac and the big blind both called.
The turn brought a 9? and without much thought the big blind moved all in for about 32,000. Weng went into the tank but eventually found a call. Kostelac then moved in for less.
John Kostelac: 2?2?
Big Blind: 7?8?
Bin Weng: J?10?
All of the players were live but the 6? river would give Kostelac a pure triple and the spade river would earn Weng a small side pot. The big blind would be sent to the rail.
