Jack on Turn Saves Macmanara

Level 6:400/800 (800)
Entries:59/81
Prizes:€5,202

Steve Slater three-bet jammed his short stack of 3,800 from the small blind and was called by Lisa Macmanara and Charlie Watson.

Macmanara checked the 5♣4♣Q♥ flop. Watson jammed and Macmanara said “oh, no” after she called off her stack of 8,900 and the cards were tabled with a lower flush draw than Watson.

Steve Slater: A♠7♠
Lisa Macmanara: K♣J♣
Charlie Watson: A♣2♣

Slater was excited that he was technically ahead and didn’t realize he fell behind after the J♦ turn connected with Macmanara. The 9♠ river kept Macmanara ahead as she doubled through Watson and eliminated a deflated Slater.

Christopher Bohane, Stephen Beckwith, and Ian Mckenzie joined Slater on the rail during the opening moments after the break to leave 59 players remaining.

Lisa Macmanara – 25,000
Charlie Watson – 5,000
