Mandara Wins a Small Multi-Way Pot

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Maksim Shornikau raised the hijack to 80,000 with Ryan Mandara calling from the small blind and Candido Cappiello defending his big blind.

Three-ways to a flop of 88J, which everyone checked to see the 4 fall on the turn. Mandara and Cappiello checked, but Shornikau bet 210,000. Only Mandara called.

The 5 hit the river and both players checked. Mandara turned over AJ for a flopped pair of jacks and Shornikau mucked his cards.
