The Champ Doubles Up
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Last years champion Manny Stavropoulos just opened the cutoff and his country man John Dalessandri three-bet to 5,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and action was back on Stavropoulos. He pushed all in for 15,400 and after contemplating what to do for a bit, Dalessandri called.
Manny Stavropoulos: 
John Dalessandri: 
It was a classic flip and Stavropoulos would be the one to come out ahead. The board came 
and last years winner doubled up with top two.
