McManus Knocks Sigurd Off Leaderboard

James "Not the Author" McManus raises to 12,000 preflop and Sigurd Eskeland reraises to 40,000. McManus raises again to 108,000 and Sigurd shoves over the top. McManus calls, creating a 832,000 pot, and has {A-?}{Q-?} to Sigurd's {A-?}{5-?}. The board bricks out. McManus now has 780,000 while Sigurd has 550,000.
