Madanzhiev Calls River Correctly
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Stoyan Madanzhiev opened to 8,000 from early position and was called by Zaki Hamani in middle position.
On the 10♦8♣3♦ flop, Madanzhiev checked to Hamani who bet 8,000. Madanzhiev responded with a check-raise to 20,000 and Hamani called.
The turn brought the 3♥. Madanzhiev continued for 10,000 and Hamani stuck around.
On the 8♦ river, Madanzhiev slowed down with a check. Hamani then jammed for 66,000 effective which sent Madanzhiev deep into the tank. He would use five of his six remaining time banks before he finally called.
Stoyan Madanzhiev: J♦10♠ 
Zaki Hamani: K♠Q♠
Madanzhiev made the right call on a dangerous board against a courageous bluff from Hamani.
