Mantel Takes Half

Level 19

Big O

Corey Bradford opened the action with a raise to 12,000. Perry Green flatted from middle position, then Samuel Del Castillo Guerra potted to 54,000 from the small blind, which was exactly his stack. Ariel Mantel called from the big blind, with Bradford and Green doing the same.

Mantel then open-potted the 275 flop, putting out 222,000. Bradford called all in, and 1981 WSOP Main Event runner-up Green folded after some thought.

Samuel Del Castillo Guerra: A9763 All in
Corey Bradford: AKQ103All in
Ariel Mantel: A7442

Mantel had flopped massive, and secured at least half the pot with the K turn giving him the nut flush. He couldn't find a miracle three to scoop, as the 8 river had his opponents chop the nut low. Bradford took a quarter of the main pot, and half of the side.
