Jason Mangold
Jason Mangold

Wendy Freedman opened for 1,800 from early position and was called by Jason Mangold sitting directly on her left and Todd Sladek from the cutoff.

Freedman fired out 3,100 after a {10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop and Mangold called.

The turn came the {4-Clubs} and Freedman checked her option to Mangold who moved all in. Freedman called off.

Wendy Freedman: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Jason Mangold: {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Mangold held top-pair with the flush draw and eliminated Freedman after the {a-Clubs} river completed his flush.

Heine Makes Good River Call, Wins Pot

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Keith Heine opened for 1,500 from early position and was called by Jason Mangold from the small blind along with Todd Sladek from the big blind.

The {4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop was checked to Heine who fired out 2,000 and was called by Mangold.

Both players checked the {6-Hearts} turn to the {7-Hearts} river.

Mangold check-raised to 12,500 after Heine put out a 2,000 bet. Heine called.

Mangold tabled {4-Clubs}{x-} but that was no good as Heine tabled {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for the winner.

Among those to cash but fall short of the final table was Michael Snow (9th - $493), Bradley Beetz (10th - $448), Kevin Conger (11th - $403), Craig Welko (12th - $403), and Stefanie Christiana (13th - $403).
