Manzano Doubles to Stay Alive
Level 39
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Alex Manzano raised to 3,600,000 on the button and Robert Gill three-bet with a pot-sized bet. Manzano then went into the tank, knowing that his tournament life could be at risk.
"You can't fold," said Gill.
"Can I?" asked Manzano.
"No," replied Gill.
Manzano ultimately decided to go with his hand, and the rest of his money went in preflop. Gill made the call.
Alex Manzano: A♥Q♥10♠9♦ 
Robert Gill: A♠10♦8♦4♠
The board ran out K♠7♥5♥5♠2♦, and Manzano's ace-queen high secured him the double up, putting him back in the match.
