Tamaki Sends Mandryk to the Rail
Shoichiro Tamaki opened from the hijack and Nicholas Mandryk called in the cutoff. In the small blind, Michael Vinokur put in a three-bet and both opponents called to create a bloated three-way pot.
On the 10♥10♦6♠ flop, Vinokur led for 7,000 and Tamaki called before Mandryk put in a small raise to 17,000. Vinokur would fold after a long tank with what he later said was aces, and Tamaki called again.
The turn brought the 9♦ as Tamaki checked in flow to Mandryk who jammed for 88,400 and Tamaki snap-called.
Nicholas Mandryk: Q♦J♦ 
Shoichiro Tamaki: J♠10♠
Mandryk held an open-ender with a flush draw against the trip tens of Tamaki, who needed to fade many outs to drag a massive pot. Many from the table stood up to sweat the river card as the fate of each player awaited, and dealer peeled the 9♠ to give Tamaki a full house. Mandryk was left with nothing as he exited the room after a massive collision in a pot worth almost 250 big blinds.
