Acion folded aorund to Nicholas Manganaro in the cutoff. Manganaro raised to 21,000. Keith Murrell called from the small blind. It was heads-up to a flop of {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Murrell bet 30,000. Manganaro moved all in for a total of 95,000. Murrell thought for close to two minutes before finally making the call. The players showed:

Murrell: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Manganaro: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The gallery, at least half of which is here supporting Manganaro, erupted with applause when the hands were turned up. Murrell never caught up and Manganaro's set was best. He doubled through Murrell and now has just over 240,000.
