Event 1 Flight E: Minaya Sends One Out

$360 Ultimate Re-Entry No Limit Hold’em
Level 9: 500/1,000 with a 100 ante
Flight E Entries: 603

Manny Minaya

Another break, another level, and another high mark. Flight E crossed over 600 entries after the second break of the day to leave the Ultimate Re-Entry prize pool only a couple dozen entries away from hitting $750,000.

Former SHRP champ Manny Minaya is doing his part to shrink the field along the way. We caught one of his hands with him heads up and the board reading 6h6c5s. His opponent moved all-in with bottom pair 9s5s and it was an easy call for Minaya with the over-pair JsJh. The 9d turn and 2s river were clean for Minaya to send one player out while moving him up to 50,000.

Minaya is coming into the series on a little hot streak after three deep runs in the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Winter Poker Open and his second career WPO title.
