It's Always Funner

Before the flop, Manny Stavropoulos got it all in with {7-Clubs} {9-Clubs} and was called down by Geoffrey Channing, who tabled {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}.

The flop came ugly for Stavropoulos as it fell {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {10-Hearts}. The turn provided some more outs though, as the {8-Spades} gave him an open-end straight draw. In true come-from-behind fashion, Stavropoulos nailed his {J-Spades} on the river, filling in his straight and snatching the pot from Channing. After the hand, he has doubled his way up to 45,000, while Channing is left with just 1,500.
