Big O
Ariel Mantel managed to get his full stack in preflop, facing a big-stacked James Newberry, who was looking to score an elimination.
Ariel Mantel: A♦K♠Q♥6♣2♥
James Newberry: A♠K♣9♦5♥2♦
The preflop matchup was relatively even, but the J♦10♠4♥ flop gave Mantel the advantage as he picked up more straight outs than his opponent. The 4♣ turn confirmed that there would be no low, and Mantel was looking to catch a king or a nine for the full double, unable to be knocked out. The river Q♦ was what Mantel would've hoped for preflop, but it gave both players Broadway, and the pot was split.
