Ilavsky Hero Calls to Grab Huge Double Up from Madanzhiev
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
With around 80,000 in the middle on the completed board of 8♥7♣2♠4♠8♣, Stoyan Madanzhiev shoved all in from the cutoff to put Martin Ilavsky in middle position at risk for 124,700.
Ilavsky looked sick to the stomach at the thought of deciding to call or fold. After two minutes in the tank, he made the call. Madanzhiev only had ace-high after tabling [ac3], to the relief of Ilavsky who made the hero call with 10♣10♠ to take down a monster pot.
