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♥.
