Nemeth Takes Lead With Hero Call on River
In what would develop into a game-changing pot, Michail Manolakis raised to 80,000 from the button, Andras Nemeth three-bet to 280,000 and Manolakis called.
The flop came J♣J♦8♥ and Nemeth continued with a bet of 90,000, which Manolakis called. The turn was the 2♣ and Nemeth slowed down with a check. Manolakis bet 210,000 and Nemeth called.
The river was the 5♣ and Nemeth checked again. Manolakis asked to see Nemeth's stack before moving all in. Nemeth had 800,000 left behind and was put to the test on the river. He went deep into the tank, using two time bank cards before making the decision to call.
Manolakis revealed a bluff with Q♣10♥. Nemeth flipped over A♥K♠ for ace-high with the pair of jacks on board. It was a hero call, one that put Nemeth well out in front with around 2.8 million in chips.
