Mantin Doubles
Level 34
: 150,000/300,000, 40,000 ante
One the second deal back from the recent break, a short-stacked Mitchell Mantin made his stand with a three-bet shove for 2.17 million from the big blind.
Chip leader Kevin Grabel had tried to steal from the cutoff with a 640,000 wager, and when he calculated the amount left to call in comparison with the pot, he elected to make the call with just ![]()
.
Mantin rolled over ![]()
but rather than racing a pair or dominating a weaker ace, he was actually fading two live cards that could easily combine with many possible boards.
The flop came down ![]()
![]()
to add a gutshot straight draw to Grabel's arsenal of outs, but the turn (
) and river (
) bricked off to send the pot Mantin way.
