Madanzhiev Spikes an Ace to Send Out Pastore
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Daniel Gagne opened 100,000 from the cutoff and Stoyan Madanzhiev called on the button before Jonathan Pastore three-bet to 350,000 from the big blind. Gagne mucked and Madanzhiev announced an all-in. Pastore eyed the clock looking to see if it were a pay jump as he let Madanzhiev know he's just going to take a moment. After a few seconds, he called off his stack of about 1,300,000.
Jonathan Pastore: K?K? 
Stoyan Madanzhiev: A?5?
The Q?8?2? flop looked promising for Pastore as his kings were still in the lead, however, the dreaded A? fell on the turn for Madanzhiev to pull ahead. The 7? river was no help for Pastore as he headed to the payout desk.
