Refos Doubles Through Madanzhiev

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Raoul Refos
Raoul Refos

It only took a couple of preflop raises for Raoul Refos and Stoyan Madanzhiev to get all of their chips in the middle preflop. Refos was the player at risk for 34,700 but was in great shape to double up.

Raoul Refos: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Stoyan Madanzhiev: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop fell {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} to give Madanzhiev a pair of jacks and some hope. However, the {k-Spades} on the turn and the {3-Clubs} on the river gave Refos the double up, leaving Madanzhiev on the short stack.
