One the second deal back from the recent break, a short-stacked Mitchell Mantin made his stand with a three-bet shove for 2.17 million from the big blind.

Chip leader Kevin Grabel had tried to steal from the cutoff with a 640,000 wager, and when he calculated the amount left to call in comparison with the pot, he elected to make the call with just {6-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Mantin rolled over {A-Spades}{k-Diamonds} but rather than racing a pair or dominating a weaker ace, he was actually fading two live cards that could easily combine with many possible boards.

The flop came down {5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} to add a gutshot straight draw to Grabel's arsenal of outs, but the turn ({10-Diamonds}) and river ({2-Diamonds}) bricked off to send the pot Mantin way.
