Dating back to this summer’s WPTDeepStacks-Tampa series, Karl Manouchakian has been the hottest tournament player this side of the state of Florida. We’ll take a closer look at his run later, but right now it’s time for June Amer’s 15 minutes of fame.

Amer recently limped from middle position and Manouchakian raised to 500 from her direct left. It folded around to the big blind and he came along as well.

Flop: AcQd7s

The big blind checked as did Amer. Manouchakian C-bet 800 sending it back to the big blind who check-raised to 2,000. It was then on Amer and she three-bet to 5,000. Manouchakian quickly got out of the way and the big blind mucked as well. Amer flashed the 7c7h set as she raked the pot.
