Pavlov Loses Battle of Bulgarians
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Atanas Pavlov moved all-in with a shorter stack of around 35,000 and fellow Bulgarian Ivan Zhechev isolated by moving all-in over the top. As all opponents had folded, Pavlov hoped for a coin flip and got exactly that.
Atanas Pavlov: 
Ivan Zhechev: 
The 
flop propelled Pavlov into the lead but the 
turn restored the preflop order. Pavlov still had outs with a straight draw but the 
river was a brick.
