When Queens Meet Kings, It’s No Fairy Tale
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Stoyan Madanzhiev got the action going with a raise to 2,400 from early position, attracting a call from Xiaohua Fu in the cutoff. The excitement didn’t stop there; Robbie Bull in the small blind decided to make it interesting with a three-bet to 10,500. Madanzhiev, holding just a bit more than that, opted to go all in. Fu quickly folded, but Bull snap-called, setting up a showdown.
Stoyan Madanzhiev: Q♥Q♦
Robbie Bull: K♥K♦
Madanzhiev needed some help from the board, but it didn’t come as the cards ran out 10♦9♣8♠6♠10♣, providing no assistance and sending Madanzhiev to the rail. Meanwhile, Bull scooped up a nice stack to keep him in the tournament.
