Mega Monster Mammoth Hand for Meyer, Manole and Morales

Mihai Manole raised to 32,000 in the cutoff and was met with a push for 196,000 from Marcus Meyer on the button. Over to Roberto Morales in the small blind -- and he unexpectedly called all in for 154,000. Back to Manole -- and he called too. Wow.

Meyer: {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Manole: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Morales: {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

Board: {8-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

A full triple up for Morales to around 470,000; a dejected Meyer busted out and was led to the payout desk, while Manole took the side pot but was still down on that hand.

Asked tablemate Marty Derbyshire, "How do you feel?" Replied Morales: "F***ing awesome."
