Biography & Poker Background

Play Style & Strategy
There is limited public interview or strategy material available from Atanasov, making it difficult to define his overall playing style from tournament results alone.
Coverage of the 10th Anniversary Special did provide several examples of his play at the final table.
Atanasov eliminated Dvoress after flopping three aces and improving to a full house against pocket queens.
He later played what was then the biggest pot of the final table against Tang . After Petrangelo opened, Tang three-bet with ace-king and Atanasov four-bet with pocket jacks. Tang moved all-in and Atanasov called, with the low board keeping his pair ahead and eliminating Tang in seventh place.
At four-handed play, Atanasov, Mateos and Simao each held 35 big blinds, while Petrangelo was close behind with 30. Atanasov’s stack later fell after losing pots to Simao and Petrangelo before he was eliminated in fourth for $990,000.
