Another Chapter for McManus

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

James McManus has been nursing a short stack for most of the afternoon, and just now open-raised all in for 8,850 from the button. Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott, sitting to McManus' left in the small blind, hemmed and hawed a bit, then finally said he was calling. Ulliott nearly showed his cards before the dealer held out a hand to indicate the big blind was still left to act. "You can flash them, if you want," smiled the BB, and Ulliott chuckled in response. The BB folded, and Ulliott and McManus tabled their cards.

Ulliott showed {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and McManus {K-Spades}{J-Spades}. The flop came {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and the author of Cowboys Full: The Story of Poker stood up from his chair. Then came the turn, the {J-Diamonds}, and McManus moved to sit back down. The river was the {2-Hearts}, and McManus had survived. He now sits with about 19,000, while Ulliott has about 65,000.
