Jason Mangold was just seen leaving his seat and walking over to the front desk to buy in again. Travis Poncik was the benefactor of the knockout and was more than happy to recount the hand.

According to Poncik, the hand was actually a double knockout where he opened with {j-}{j-} and received calls from Mangold and another player who was in the blinds.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-} to give Poncik a full house and he saw the first player to act shove all in. Poncik shoved over the top and Mangold committed the rest of his chips.

Mangold had {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a flush draw and the third player had {8-}{x-} for trip eights. Poncik was in commanding position with his jacks full and held when the board ran out clean to get him two knockouts and a spot atop the leaderboard.
