Bogdanov Doubles After Long Tank
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Toni Kaukua opened from the hijack to find a three-bet from Yulian Bogdanov on the button for 125,000. Back on Kaukua, he moved all in for 765,000 effective.
Bogdanov went well into the tank. A tablemate called the clock. The tournament director counted all the way down to two seconds before Bogdanov made the call. A looming pay jump may have been a factor.
Yulian Bogdanov: 
Toni Kaukua: 
It was a race between two similarly-sized stacks. Bogdanov came out ahead on the 
board to take down the pot.
