No Final Table for Manns

Level 22: 20,000/40,000 (40,000)
Entries: 53/1,326

Sascha Manns has been at the final table of several events I’ve reported this year. It appeared he had a chance to keep the trend going but all good things must come to an end.

We will ask Manns later about the hand but Glen Gaines and Caroline Schallock, who are both at the table, recapped what they knew. Alessandro La Cava, who took all of Mann’s chips, explained to us as well in Italian. Surprisingly, we understood most of what La Cava said despite never studying Italian.

We learned that Manns jammed the turn with the ace-eight-two-queen on the board. La Cava called and the cards were turned over.

Sascha Manns – Ace-Ten
Alessandro La Cava – Queen-Eight

A blank six hit the river and. the rest was history.

Alessandro La Cava – 3.2 million
Sascha Manns – 0
