Banicevic Runs Good to Stack Petkov
Level 25
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Vlado Banicevic has been a bit unfortunate in a few hands today but when it mattered most, luck was on his side.
Banicevic raised to 600,000 from middle position and Lachezar Petkov made it 3,000,000 to go from the hijack. When it got back to Banicevic, he shoved, and Petkov called off his remaining 700,000 behind.
Lachezar Petkov: K♥K♠ 
Vlado Banicevic: 9♠9♣
Petkov was well in the lead with his Cowboys and a flop of 10♦5♥8♦ looked pretty safe. However, the 7♠ turn gave Banicevic an open-ended straight draw to make things a little sweaty.
The straight draw came in when the 6♠ hit the river, which meant Petkov was eliminated while Banicevic's stack climbed to around 12,500,000.
