Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Vito Branciforte raised to 1,800 from under the gun to get called by Michail Manolakis on the button and Nicolae Paunescu in the big blind. The three-way flop of K♠J♦9♠ was checked by Paunescu, and Branciforte bet 4,000. Only Manolakis called and then saw his opponent check the Q♣ on the turn.

Manolakis made it 11,000 to go for Branciforte to check-call, leading them to the 4♦ on the river. Branciforte checked once again, and Manolakis bet 30,000. That was for half of Branciforte's stack, and he tank-called.

Manolakis was not thrilled to expose his 8♠7♠ for busted straight and flush draws, then tapped the table when Branciforte showed his J♥J♠ for a set of jacks and said, "Good call."
