We happened upon the table with Stefan Ivanov, who had 29,500 out in front of him, debating what to do as his opponent directly to his left was all in for 177,400. Ivanov, who back in 2015 won a Venetian Deep Stack event for a career-high $111,000, thought long and hard before tossing in a single chip to call.
Ivanov: 
Opponent: 
"How do you always have it?" the at-risk player asked. He then watched as a queen appeared in the window on the

bricked instead.
