Lipton Gets a Donation From Mammen
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
"We have to finish today. He has a plane to catch," Thomas Boivin said about Joshua Mammen at the start of the day.
"Actually, I do," Mammen replied.
Mammen then opened to 20,000 on the button and Chad Lipton moved all in for 68,000 in the big blind. "Donation," Mammen said as he called.
Chad Lipton: A♣8♠
Joshua Mammen: 7♠6♠
The 5♠3♦3♣ flop gave Mammen outs to a straight, but Lipton held on through the 9♦ turn and 2♦ river to earn the double up.
