Sam Greenwood Goes Runner-Runner Flush to Double Through Ariel Mantel

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Sam Greenwood
Sam Greenwood

Sam Greenwood raised to 2,500 in middle position and Ariel Mantel three-bet to 8,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Greenwood called. They went heads up to the flop of {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Greenwood checked. Mantel bet another 8,000 and Greenwood moved all in for 45,100 total. Mantel thought for a long while and eventually pushed forward chips to call.

Greenwood: {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Mantel: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Mantel was well ahead with his queens against Greenwood's pair of tens with a queen kicker. The {5-Spades} turn gave Greenwood flush outs, and the {7-Spades} river completed the flush. Greenwood collected the double-up, and Mantel put his head down on the table for several seconds to take in the beat he just took for just more than half of his stack.
