Level 22 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev completed in the small blind and Tyler Stafman raised to 360,000 in the big blind. Madanzhiev called.

Madanzhiev checked on the flop of 6♦Q♥5♣ and Stafman continued for 300,000. Madanzhiev check-raised to 950,000, which Stafman responded to by three-bet jamming to bring a quick fold from Madanzhiev.

Not long after, Michael Rocco opened to 320,000 in the cutoff and Madanzhiev three-bet to 2,000,000 on the button with less than a big blind behind. Rocco four-bet jammed and Madanzhiev called after running down the clock a bit.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♦9♦ All in
Michael Rocco: K♣Q♣

The flop of 3♣4♦7♠ kept Madanzhiev ahead with ace-high, but the board finished out 9♣J♣ to give Rocco a runner-runner flush as Madanzhiev was eliminated.

Level 22 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

In a heads-up pot on a flop of 5♠7♥7♠, Tyler Stafman checked in the small blind and Ognyan Dimov bet 120,000 in the hijack. Stafman check-raised to 335,000. Dimov called.

Stafman bet 300,000 on the 9♠ turn and Dimov again called. Stafman then checked on the 4♥ river and Dimov checked back.

Stafman showed a pair of fives with 10♥5♥, but it was no good against the overpair of his opponent with K♦K♠.
