Mamut Needs the River to Snatch Pot From Manikaros
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Iraklis Manikaros opened from early position to 4,000 and Nikolai Mamut three-bet from middle position to 12,000. When the action folded back to Manikaros, he called.
The duo saw a flop of J?8?9? where the action checked through to the 8? turn. Manikaros led out for 21,000, and Mamut called.
When the 5? dropped on the river, both players checked to showdown and Manikaros showed A?Q? for ace-high, but Mamut tabled the winner as he paired his five on the river holding A?5?.
