More than Half a Million for Ivanov
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Marian Ivanov opened from the hijack to 15,000 and got calls from Georgios Efthymiadis in the small blind and Christina Orfanidou from the big blind.
All three players checked the 
flop before Efthymiadis led out for 40,000 after the 
came on the turn. Orfanidou folded before Ivanov called.
Efthymiadis tanked for two minutes after the 
came on the turn before he checked. Ivanov bet 55,000 and Efthymiados tanked again for two minutes. Ivanov called the clock and before Thomas Lamatsch could get to the table Efthymiadis called.
Ivanov showed 
and appeared surprised he won the hand after Efthymiadis tossed his hand into the muck.
