Mangan Mangles

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

When we arrived at the table, the flop was {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. A player was already all in and at risk for a small main pot, while a second player had moved all in for 50,000 over a bet of 7,500 from Ryan Mangan. Mangan mulled the decision over for 90 seconds or so, and called.

The player who was all in preflop tabled {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}, the best hand, and Mangan showed {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. The player who shoved on the flop, was trailing big time with {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

The turn and river bricked {k-Hearts}, {a-Hearts} respectively, and even though Mangan lost the main pot, he raked in a six-figure side pot to push his stack to 116,000.

On our way back from the poker room we noticed another player with a massive stack - Jason Nguyen is sitting on 147,000.
