Manolakis Doubles With a Set
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
With around 30,000 in the middle on a 9♥5♦10♥ board, Michail Manolakis had his remaining 92,000 in the middle from the hijack and was put at risk by Peter Cieslik from middle position.
Michail Manolakis: 9♠9♦ 
Peter Cieslik: K♥6♥
Manolakis had a set and just needed to fade the flush draw of Cieslik. A K♣ on the turn gave Cieslik top pair, but it didn't change the fact that he required a heart. Another improvement came for Cieslik on the 6♦ river, but two pair doesn't beat a set, which meant he had to send chips over to Manolakis.
