Mabanta Eliminates Two!

Franco Mabanta has just eliminated two players in an interesting hand on table 13. With a short-stacked player all in, and the player in the small blind making the call, Mabanta bumped it up another 5,000 from the big blind. The small blind deliberated before making the call.

"Only a call?" questioned Mabanta as he eyed off the 2,975 that the small blind had curiously left behind.

They took a flop of {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} where the small blind checked to Mabanta who bet enough to put the small blind all in. He made the call and the table raised their eyebrows as the cards were revealed.

Mabanta held {A-Spades}{6-Spades} for the lead in the side pot against the small blind player's {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} as the short-stacked player rubbed his hands together as he was in good shape to triple up with a meagre {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}.

However the {A-Hearts} spiked on the turn to give Mabanta a near-lock on the hand with his pair of aces. The river bricked the {9-Spades} and Mabanta sends two to the rail to now sit more comfortably with 22,000 chips.

Earlier on today PokerNews' own Melissa Castello caught up with the Filipino Poker Tour co-founder to talk about poker in the Philippines and the FPT.
