Manikos Holds Steady

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

There were over 5,000 in the middle on a flop of 3♦7♦A♣.

Jesus Valencia and Sebastian Mortensen checked out of the small and big blinds, respectively, before David Manikos put out a bet of 2,500 from the hijack. Raminder Singh called out of the cutoff.

Valencia responded with a check-raise to 10,000 in response. Mortensen folded, while Valencia hung in there with a call. Singh made the fold to leave only Manikos and Valencia in the hand.

The 5♣ turn did not deter Valencia, as he wagered 15,000. Manikos put in the call.

Valencia tossed out another 15,000 on the 3♥ river. Manikos did not think long before he called to go to a showdown.

Valencia showed A♥J♠ for aces up with a jack kicker, but the kicker would be a problem when Manikos showed A♠K♣ for aces up with a king kicker to claim the pot.
