Hegarty's Kings No Match for Manikaros's Big Slick

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Iraklis Manikaros raised to 6,000 from late position, and Sean Hegarty three-bet to 14,500 from the small blind. Manikaros then moved all in for approximately 72,000, putting himself at risk. Hegarty made the call and looked to be in great shape.

Iraklis Manikaros: AK All in
Sean Hegarty: KK

The dealer fanned an A in the window, followed by the K5, maximum excitement, but the drama wasn’t over. The J7 runout completed a nut-flush for Manikaros, putting a massive dent in Hegarty’s stack. As chips were pushed across the table, one player muttered, “Poker can be a stupid game sometimes.”
