The King Is Dead, Long Live the King
Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
Last years champion Manny Stavropoulos has been eliminated from the tournament. Victor Li told us all about it.
Stavropoulos raised from early position and Benjamin Pollak in the big blind made the call. Pollak checked on 
with two clubs and Stavropoulos made a continuation bet of 2,400. Pollak asnwered with a check raise to 5,100 and action was back on Stavropoulos. Stavropoulos shoved all in for about 12,000 and Pollak made the call.
Manny Stavropoulos: 
Benjamin Pollak: 
The 
on the turn was of no influence on the outcome and neither was the on the river. Manny Stavroloulos has left the tournament, a new champion will be crowned this year!
