Boris Kolev – 216M.
The Champion of the Millions Event at Merit Royal is Boris Kolev!
With a $10,400 buy-in, 212 entries, and a stunning $1,000,000 for first place, it was a brilliant run backed by strong support from friends that brought Kolev yet another victory!
– Boris, congratulations! How are you feeling?
– I feel good. Of course, there’s a wave of emotions, and I’m happy. But I wouldn’t say I’m super excited.
– Why? Because of your experience?
– Yes, mostly because of that.
– But one million is one million!
– True. But you see what’s written on my hoodie? “More money, more problems!”
But seriously, I’m obviously very happy.
– How was the final table overall? Any key moments or tough spots?
– No, everything went really well. Early on, I hit quads with queens, took down a huge pot, and became the chip leader.
Then, at four-handed play, one guy decided to just donate money — there were two short stacks, and he just gave it away.
Yes, I had an ace-high flush in that hand. It was very strange.
– How do you feel about Merit Poker?
– Oh man, this is the best place in the world. By far the best venue!
Why? Just look around — the accommodation, the spa, the food, the staff… whatever you want, it’s all here. Truly, the best.
Huge congratulations to BORIS KOLEV!
