Manjares Cracks Ado's Aces For a Double
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Justin Manjares in the small blind and Gabriel Ado on the button got all their chips in the middle before the flop, Ado having Manjares' remaining 720,000 covered.
Justin Manjares: J♠J♣
Gabriel Ado: A♠A♣
Ado had Manjares crushed with his aces and was poised for the knockout until the flop brought 10♠J♦4♣ to give Manjares top set. The rest of the board ran out 2♥K♥, and Manjares doubled up.
"I've only had aces twice, and they lost both times. It's okay, brother, you're still alive. You couldn't do anything different," tablemate Brian Wood consoled Ado, who paced around the table with his hands atop his head as the pot was pushed to Manjares.
