Erle Mankin Folds Then Play Continues Through Dinner

Paul Michaelis opened for 8,000 and Erle Mankin three-bet to 24,000 and Michaelis called.

The flop was {8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {6-Hearts} turn card.

Mankin check-called a bet of 25,000 and the river card {5-Spades} completed the board.

Mankin bet 50,000 and Michaelis raised to 118,000.

Mankin thought for over five minutes or, rather, talked to himself out loud. “How can you not have it,” was the gist of it. Eventually, with the dinner break announced, he folded to leave himself with 118,000

After consulting with the floor, both players decided they did not want a dinner break and continued to play on.

We got to the table to see around 140,000 in the pot already. The flop was {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, Russell Thomas opened to 50,000 from the button, and Carlos Mortensen shoved all in from the small blind. Thomas snap-called.

Thomas: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Mortensen: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

They both had kings but Thomas had the ace-kicker. The turn gave them the {K-Diamonds} and the river completed the board with the {7-Spades}.

Table 728 is playing three-handed at the moment.

Battle Continues: Michaelis vs. Mankin

The heads-up match between Paul Michaelis and Erle Mankin is still going on. They were the first players to get heads up and, after a 20-minute break, they played through the dinner break so they are one level ahead of the rest of the tournament,

Mankin had battled back from a large deficit but is now at a big disadvantage again. The match is incredibly hard fought with no quarter given but it is also being played with great humor. Mankin looked up his German opponent on his phone and said to him, “Only one bracelet? Even that old guy has two bracelets. I see you like playing low buy-in events.”

Michaelis for his part returned the song Mankin had sung to him earlier, “You’re getting short, it’s going to be over soon.”
