HUGE Hand
Oct 21, '08
David Frazee in the small blind and Jason Mann in middle position built a pot up to 35,000 preflop when a flop of A3Q was dealt on the table. Both players checked and after the 4 fell on the turn things got very interesting. Frazee opened the action with a bet of 50,000 and Mann reraised all in to quickly escalate things. Frazee made the call and he had Mann covered by 1,500. They turned up their hands and Frazee held 86, but Mann held J9 for an even better flopped flush. The river brought the 9 and Mann doubled up on the hand to become a massive chip leader with 828,000. Frazee was crippled with 1,500, which he will most likely move all in on the first hand after the break.
