Manikaros Asks for All of It
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Aleksandr Pak opened to 1,500 from under the gun and Georgios Vakis called in the cutoff. Iraklis Manikaros three-bet to 7,000 from the small blind and Pak made the call while Vakis got out of the way.
The flop came Q♥10♦3♦ and Manikaros fired a 7,000 continuation bet. Pak made the call.
On the 9♥ turn Manikaros moved all in, covering Pak's remaining stack of roughly 50,000. Pak made the call and was at risk.
Aleksandr Pak: 10♦9♦
Iraklis Manikaros: A♥Q♦
Manikaros was ahead with top pair but had to fade many outs versus Pak's second pair and flush draw. The 5♠ river was a blank and Manikoris took down a massive early pot while scoring the early knockout.
