Pairs Are Not Good for Lendvai
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Meanwhile, action on the non-feature table has been slow. The hand of greatest note in the past 15 minutes or so was that when Ankush Mandavia shoved from the cutoff. Tamas Lendvai in the big blind asked how much it was - answer: around 500,000 - and tanked for a while. Mandavia asked him what he had in a suspiciously cheerful and confident voice. "I got a pair," Lendvai told him.
"Pairs are good," said Mandavia; again, rather too confident for a potential caller's liking.
Eventually he folded. Mandavia asked him if he'd had fives. Lendvai claimed sixes.
