Obreshkov Increases Stack Early on Day 2
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Picking up the action on the J♣9♦7♠A♥ turn, Michail Manolakis bet 6,500 in middle position. Stoyan Obreshkov called in the hijack and they headed to the 5♣ river. Manolakis now made it 14,500 to go and Obreshkov called instantly, then asked right away if Manolakis had ace-king.
The Greek shook his head and flashed the 9♥8♥ for a pair of nines, which Obreshkov had beat holding the A♦Q♣.
