Bretzfield Busts With the Wrong Manifestation
Ryan Hansen limped in from under the gun. Josh Arieh and Matthew Bretzfield did the same from the button and small blind before Thomas Zanot checked in the big blind.
The flop came J♥5♣K♠. Bretzfield led out for 200,000, pushing Zanot out of the pot. After asking for what Bretzfield had behind, Hansen raised it up to 500,000. Arieh got out of the way, prompting Bretzfield to go all in for 775,000. Hansen quickly called, taking them to the following showdown.
Matthew Bretzfield: Q♥10♥9♣2♦
Ryan Hansen: A♥K♥J♦9♦
Bretzfield got on his feet and claimed he was waiting for a backdoor flush. He started praying for a heart to come down, and as if his prayers were heard, the dealer peeled a 5♥ turn and a 7♥ river.
With the board completed, Bretzfield celebrated with a cheer for catching a flush. Just to be reminded that Hansen had the higher flush.
One of the players at the table, said "That's what you call manifestation. He called it and it happened."
