Mandara Wins a Flip Against Demirkol
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ryan Mandara opened the button to 24,000 and Mehmet Demirkol made it 67,000 out of the small blind. Once the big blind folded, Mandara shipped in his stack of just under 200,000, and Demirkol quickly called.
Ryan Mandara: 10♦10♣ 
Mehmet Demirkol: A♥K♥
"Good luck," said Mandara.
The flop came 7♣9♦10♠ and all but sealed the deal as Mandara improved to a set, which left Demirkol needing running cards to survive. Demirkol did get half way there when the Q♦ dropped on the turn, however the A♦ wasn't the river he was looking for, and Mandara doubled up.
