Tsanev joins the Top Five
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Dimitry Urbanovich joined the competition in the last half an hour and Nikolay Tsanev is now a contender for the overall chip lead at the end of the day. He defended his big blind against a raise to 1,300 and check-called a bet of 1,300 on the 
flop. On the 
turn, Tsanev check-raised from 2,800 to 7,100 and called the raise to 16,100 by the opponent.
The 
on the river saw Tsanev check-raise all in with the superior stack and his opponent made a crying call with 
only to see the Bulgarian turn over 
for the back door straight.
