Small Boost for Manolakis; Manfredi Denied a Double
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
On the tail end of a Q♦5♣2♥4♠9♦ board in a battle of the blinds, Michail Manolakis check-called a bet of 155,000 by Gerald Karlic. The latter showed 9♣6♠ for a rivered pair of nines and Manolakis won the hand with the Q♣6♣.
Roberto Manfredi then got it in with the A♦K♦ and was up against Bastian Gallitzendoerfer on the button with the A♣Q♠. The J♠7♠7♣9♠J♦ board ensured the split pot.
