Ben Hock Doubles Through Nicholas Manganaro

Ben Hock Stays Alive
Ben Hock Stays Alive
On the very next hand, Nicholas Manganaro and Ben Hock were all in pre-flop again. This time it was {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for Manganaro and {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for Hock. Hock would need serious help if he was to stay alive in the tournament. By the turn, the board read {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. The crowd was so loud that it was difficult to hear the tournament director over their steady cheers. Those cheers ceased immediately however, when the dealer peeled off the {10-Clubs} on the river. Manganaro's room full of supporters lost their breath and all that was heard was the loyal cheers of one or two Ben Hock supporters. Ben Hock doubled through Nicholoas Manganaro and is back up to around 500,000, while Manganaro is down to a modest 70,000.
