Maximum Value for Minaya

Sometimes it's tough to get value out of your big hands. Manny Minaya had no such issues when he was dealt {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}. He opened for 4,200 from middle position and must have been pleased to see the big blind, Kyle Zartman, re-raise to 14,500.

When action passed back to Minaya, he shipped his whole stack into the middle. Zartman had about 40,000 behind his initial raise and tanked for a minute before calling all in with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. A jack-high board ensured his exit from the tournament. Minaya, meanwhile, is up to 190,000.
