Mandara Doubles Through Niste

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

The action folded around to Mihai Niste in the small blind, who shoved all in. Ryan Mandara was in the big blind and had a decision for his stack of 2,150,000.

"I can make a Royal Flush," joked Mandara about the strength of his hand. After counting out his stack, Mandara picked up some chips and dropped them into the pot.

Mihai Niste: A4

Mandara needed a little help from the dealer, and got some on the Q78 flop as he made top pair.

"That's not a good board for me," said Niste.

A 6 on the turn did give Niste a gutshot straight draw, but the J river was a brick, and Mandara doubled up.
