Manole Makes the Pay Jump

Mihai Manole was taking his sweet time with a decision, one away from a $1877 pay jump. Mike Matusow had shoved his 260,000 stack, good for 13 big blinds, on the button. The small blind got out of the way, leaving only Manole, who clearly wasn’t in any rush to make a decision.

With his big blind and ante already in the middle, he had only eight big blinds behind, and would’ve been at risk if he made the call. Eventually, a player at the table called clock, and he waited for the five-second countdown before begrudgingly throwing in his chips and flipping over his cards.
