Manikaros Asks for All of It

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Iraklis Manikaros
Iraklis Manikaros

Aleksandr Pak opened to 1,500 from under the gun and Georgios Vakis called in the cutoff. Iraklis Manikaros three-bet to 7,000 from the small blind and Pak made the call while Vakis got out of the way.

The flop came Q?10?3? and Manikaros fired a 7,000 continuation bet. Pak made the call.

On the 9? turn Manikaros moved all in, covering Pak's remaining stack of roughly 50,000. Pak made the call and was at risk.

Aleksandr Pak: 10?9?
Iraklis Manikaros: A?Q?

Manikaros was ahead with top pair but had to fade many outs versus Pak's second pair and flush draw. The 5? river was a blank and Manikoris took down a massive early pot while scoring the early knockout.
