Mandara Bluffs Into Hu
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ryan Mandara opened to 25,000 in middle position, which David Hu three-bet to 60,000 in the cutoff. Mandara obliged with a call, and check-called when Hu bet 42,000 on the Q♥4♣8♣ flop.
Both players went on to check the 6♦ turn, prompting Mandara to fire 130,000 on the 9♣ river. Hu quickly tossed in a matching amount for Mandara to table K♥J♥.
Mandara's king-high was outclassed by Hu's K♣Q♦, and the Dutchman was awarded the pot with his top pair.
