Ankush Mandavia Defeats Chris Whitcomb

Level 47 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Ankush Mandavia pushed all in from the button, and Chris Whitcomb called off.

Mandavia: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Whitcomb: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Whitcomb's hand stayed best on the {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, but a {k-Clubs} turn gave Mandavia lead with a pair. All wasn't lost for Whitcomb, as he could hit a club or an ace to stay alive, but a {2-Hearts} meant the end.

"Good match," Mandavia said. "Crapshoot there at the end."

At the other table, Taylor Paur just got ran down when he was all in pre with {a-}{j-} and Michael Pickett paired a queen with {q-}{10-} to stay alive. The two are nearly even now.
