Pavlov Doubles Up
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Daniel Abrahamsson opened to 500,000 from middle position and Atanas Pavlov, playing a short stack, used some extra time before he called from the big blind.
On the 5♦6♦J♣ flop, Pavlov checked, Abrahamsson shoved, and Pavlov snap-called for his last 1,550,000.
Atanas Pavlov: A♦J♠ 
Daniel Abrahamsson: A♥9♦
Pavlov had flopped top pair and was miles ahead of Abrahamsson, who only had ace-high. The hand was all over when the K♣ hit the turn, and a meaningless 10♣ completed the runout.
