Big Slick Helps Madanzhiev to a Double-Up
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Stoyan Madanzhiev made it 8,000 from early position and Alessandro Pichierri three-bet to 50,000 out of the big blind. Manadzhiev had around 90,000 to start the hand, and shoved them all into the middle. Pichierri called.
Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♠K♠ 
Alessandro Pichierri: J♠J♦
Madanzhiev needed to win a flip to survive, and did just that after he paired his ace on the 4♦8♣A♣7♦8♦ runout, which secured him a double-up just after dinner.
