Beg Skyrockets Into the Lead
Level 18
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Furkan Beg exploded in celebration after he scored a big double through Stoyan Madanzhiev. The cards and board were still tabled and Beg doubled for 849,000 with a main pot of more than 600,000 already created on the 
board. It had been a four-bet pot in which Beg jammed for more than the pot and was called by the Bulgarian.
Madanzhiev's 
were good for the second pair while Beg had 
for a set of jacks. He was about to go for a short break but ran back to his seat when the cards were tabled. That proved to be an important decision for the next hand when Martynas Vitkauskas got it in preflop and was snapped off by Beg.

The board ran out 
and Beg knocked out another opponent to further soar up the leaderboard.
