Nathan Manuel
Main Event
Level 25: 20,000/40,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining: 11 of 500
Daniel Jones raises to 85,000 from under the gun and Nathan Manuel moves all in for 295,000 out of the big blind. Jones quickly calls.
Jones shows [3s][3h] and is crushed by Manuel’s [7h][7c].
The flop is [Ah][6c][5d], keeping Manuel in the lead, and the turn is the [7s], giving Manuel top set. He begins to tap the table, not realizing Jones picked up a straight draw, but the river is the [As] and he doubles up with a full house.
“You did the premature tap,” says Jones. “That was a pretty good turn card for me.”
The table sends a few needles Manuel’s way about the premature celebration as he he smiles, laughs and stacks chips.
Nathan Manuel – 640,000
Daniel Jones – 1,800,000
