Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Jonathan Metz opened to 8,000 from the hijack before Scott Manzi three-bet all in for 49,000 from the small blind.
Abhijith Cheruku isolated with a four-bet jam for 103,000, which led to a fold from Metz as Manzi was at risk as they went to a showdown.
Scott Manzi: A♦10♦
Abhijith Cheruku: A♠A♣
Manzi was in the undesirable position of having run into aces and was left hoping for diamonds as they went to a flop.
The flop came 2♠6♥4♥ to keep Cheruku well out in front.
Manzi gained some hope of survival on the 3♣ turn as a five would lead to a chop.
Despite his pleas for a five, the 4♣ river peeled to eliminate Manzi from contention.
