Minaya in the tank

We join the action over on Table 44 where Manny Minaya is facing a big decision. The board shows {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

. Heads up in the pot, Minaya's opponent has bet enough to put the pro all-in. As we walk up, Minaya is deep in the tank, struggling with his decision. After a minute or two, he stands up to kneel on his chair, a resigned look on his face. Finally, he grabs his remaining 10,750 chips and clunks them into the pot with a dull thud-rattle.

His opponent shuffles {A-?}

{A-?}

{6-?}

in between his hands as Minaya turns over the winning {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{3-Spades}

for just a pair of threes. After making that big call, the pro has doubled his way up to over 30,000.
