Stankov Moves In, Nearly Doubles

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ivan Stankov raised to 4,000 from early position before Damir Zhugralin made it 20,000 from the cutoff. The small blind then four-bet to 45,000 as action folded back around to Stankov, who moved all in for 105,000.

Zhugralin quickly folded, but the small blind tanked for several minutes. "You're happy now," he told Stankov before he eventually folded.

"Put that he folded queens. Queen-seven," a tablemate said.

"You doubled up," another told Stankov after the hand.

"Almost," Stankov replied.
