Manikaros Hits the Turn to Crack Bezhanyan's Aces
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
With around 200,000 in the pot on a flop of 9♥5♦7♠, Aren Bezhanyan bet 110,000 from the big blind and Iraklis Manikaros raised to 260,000 in the cutoff. Bezhanyan then moved all in.
Manikaros tanked for a few minutes until a tablemate called the clock, and he eventually put in his last 470,000.
Iraklis Manikaros: J♦9♦ 
Aren Bezhanyan: A♠A♥
Manikaros had flopped top pair, but he was behind against Bezhanyan's aces and needed help to survive. He hit the 9♠ on the turn to make trips, while the river was the K♦ and Bezhanyan stopped to snap a photo of the board before handing over the double up.
