In Event #5: $250 NLH Super Turbo, 102 runners created a $20,400 prize pool that was paid out to the top 12 players.

Manke Wins with River Bet

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There were four players who took to a {3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop for 2,500 a piece which included Bryan Manke from middle position and Elizabeth Ethridge from the button.

The initial raiser check folded after Manke fired out 3,500 while the other two called to see the {9-Clubs} turn.

All three players checked, and the {7-Clubs} completed the board on the river.

Manke was first to act and fired out an uncontested 7,500 to win the pot.
