Manny Minaya

Former Tampa Winter Poker Open champ found himself down to 66,000 and got his chips in the middle with Kc9s flipping against 5s5d. A five on the flop sealed his fate to exit in 38th place.

But according to Minaya, that wasn’t his doom hand. Apparently, George Imes caught a one-outer to leave him short. The hand pushed Imes up to 1,102,000 heading towards the second break.
