Pidun Mangles Mangal in Cooler
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Daniel Pidun opened to 30,000 from the hijack, and received a call from Lulei Hu on the button, before Vikrant Mangal three-bet to 165,000, leaving himself around 65,000 behind.
Pidun took a bit of time for thought and rejammed, forcing out Hu, and Mangal quickly got the rest of his stack into the middle.
Vikrant Mangal: K♥K♠ 
Daniel Pidun: A♣A♠
In a brutal cooler, Mangal had run kings into aces near the bubble.
The Q♣J♦10♥ flop was about as sweaty as it could get for Pidun, but much to his delight, Mangal bricked the 6♣ turn and 10♣ river.
