Manny Minaya (Tampa, FL) continues to have a top five stack, but has to let go of a hand when Steve Patterson (Sarasota, FL) bets into a dry side pot.

Minaya shows that he’s mucking pocket Tens and is behind Patterson’s AK on a King-high flop.

“I have garbage,” says the anonymous all in player, who fails to hit runner-runner to stay alive.

Patterson doesn’t like having Minaya on his left, but is happy to take down the pot.

“If Manny said all-in preflop, I don’t know what I would have done,” said Patterson.
