Manny Stavropoulos Catapults to 10k

Manny Stavropoulos is off to a good start early, having won a monster 10,000 three-way pot against Michael 'Sticky' Guttman and Mitchell Carle.

Carle opened the pot with a raise to 175 after three players had limped in before him. Stavropoulos called, as did Scott Reddie and Russell Watkins before Guttman reraised to 1,175. Action then folded back around to Carle, who opted to move all in. Stavropoulos moved his chips in as well, as did Guttman, following folds from Reddie and Watkins.

Carle: {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {9-Spades}
Stavropoulos: {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {5-Spades} {4-Hearts}
Guttman: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}

The board filled out {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {6-Spades} giving Stavropoulos a full house and skyrocketing him to 10,000 in chips. Both Guttman and Carle double rebought after the hand.
