Manoles with a Late Surge
Jason McMahon was looking a likely candidate for our end-of-day chip lead but a big clash with George Manolas has seen that lead change hands.
McMahon opened with a raise to 1,600 before Manolas three-bet to 3,500. Action folded back to McMahon who made the call to see a flop of ![]()
![]()
. Manolas flicked out a bet of 3,000 but Manolas popped that up to 8,500. McMahon quickly called as a big pot was brewing when the
fell on the turn.
McMahon checked and Manolas moved all in for a total of 22,475.
“Here goes the chip lead,” sighed McMahon as he flicked out a single chip to declare a call. McMahon was right as his ![]()
had been notched by Manolas’ ![]()
.
The river was the
to see Manolas double to a very healthy stack of 70,000. McMahon takes a big hit but he’s still in sound shape with around 55,000.
