Minaya's Boats are Under Sail
Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Manelic Minaya opened for 13,000 and got three callers - Thomas Kornecook on the button, Joe Cho in the small blind, and Dianlei Zhang in the big blind.
The quartet saw the flop K♥8♠A♥. After the blinds passed the action, Minaya kept the pressure up with a 19,000 bet. Both Kornecook and Zhang decided to ride the wave, while Cho got out of it.
Kornecook and Zhang got a reprieve from Minaya's aggression when all three checked the 8♦ turn. Minaya put on the pressure once again with a 45,000 be on the K♠ river, when action passed to him.
Zhang couldn't take it and folded. Kornecook made the call and immediately showed K♦Q♥ for trips. Minaya showed A♦K♣ for a full house and scooped the pot.
