Tough Break for Mandavia

A player in early position moved all in for around 5,500 and Ankush Mandavia called from the button. The rest of the table folded and cards were tabled.

Mandavia: {K-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The board came {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} giving Mandavia's opponent a straight. This fact was seemingly lost on Mandavia's opponent as he was already getting up to leave, not noticing his good fortune. A friendly neighbor pointed out the straight and the man sat down just in time to be pushed his double up.

The young online pro took a hit, but still possess around 40,000 in chips, plenty to mount a comeback.
