Madanzhiev Loses Lots Late

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev opened from the hijack and Donato De Bonis made it 9,500 to go from the cutoff. The action folded back to Madanzhiev, who made the call.

Madanzhiev then check-called De Bonis' bet of 8,100 on the 97J flop before the A turn was dealt.

Madanzhiev checked again, this time facing a bet of 21,300, more than half De Bonis' stack. He tanked for a while before shoving all in, covering his opponent's stack.

De Bonis did not like the situation he found himself in, but eventually convinced himself to make the call for his tournament life.

Donato De Bonis: AJ
Stoyan Madanzhiev: A9

De Bonis found himself ahead with the better two pair, and the Q river did nothing to change that. He raked in a big double-up near the end of Day 1a, while Madanzhiev lost around half of his above-average stack.
