Mantor Wins a Flip; Peral Sticking Around
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Tobias Leknes raised the hijack to 30,000 and Didrik Mantor made it 130,000 from the button, leaving himself just 6,000 behind. When it got back to Leknes, he shoved, and Mantor called off his last few chips.
Didrik Mantor: A♦9♣ 
Tobias Leknes: 5♥5♦
Mantor pulled ahead on the 2♠6♦A♥ flop, but needed to fade a few more outs after Leknes picked up a wheel draw on the 4♠ turn. An A♠ fell on the river, which gave Mantor trips and the double-up.
In the very next hand on the same table, Sergio Peral had his last big blind in the pot and was at risk against Tomasz Brzezinski.
Sergio Peral: A♣9♦
Tomasz Brzezinski: Q♦8♣
Peral's ace-high held up on the 10♥5♠2♥J♦J♥ runout, which kept him alive, but still with a lot of work to do.
