Madanzhiev Wins a Big Flip
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Sebastian Malec opened from middle position to 120,000 and Stoyan Madanzhiev shoved the cutoff for 1,340,000. Once the action got back to Malec, he called.
Stoyan Madanzhiev: 8?8? 
Sebastian Malec: A?Q?
It was a classic flip for a pot worth around 45 big blinds, and it was Madanzhiev who kept his advantage on the 5?4?7? flop. The K? turn gave Malec a flush draw, but the 8? river was safe for Madanzhiev as he improved to a set to double up.
