Manjares Stays In Contention
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Martin Ward was spotted on his way out and the New Zealander said, "I got it in ahead but he flopped it." Ward was at risk with 8♦8♥ against the A♣K♣ of Matheus Almeida and fell behind right away to miss out on a deeper run.
Another short stack at risk was Justin Manjares for the last 21,000 with K♠J♦ on the button against the 9♣5♣ of Brian Robinson out of the big blind on a K♥5♠4♣ flop. The 7♠ turn and Q♥ river were both blanks for Manjares to survive.
