Minole Needs All Five Board Cards

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Mihai Manole
Mihai Manole

Mihai Manole raised from early position to 3,600 and action folded around to the big blind who moved all in for 36,300. Manole hit the tank starring back and forth between his opponent and his own stack. Eventually, he made the call but his {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} was just barely nicked by the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} of his opponent.

The flop was {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and the turn was the {q-Spades}, none of which helped Manole. The river would, however. It landed as the {8-Clubs}, one of only two cards that would give Manole the pot. When he finishes raking in those chips, he will have a stack of 100,000.
