Big Stacks On the Outer Tables

There are several players with decent stacks early on in the secondary tournament area in the main poker room near the bar and among those to start well into Day 1c are Micha Hoedemaker, Mihai Manole and Marcello Miniucchi. Hoedemaker almost tripled his stack while Manole more than doubled.

Just now, Manole is involved in a three-way pot to the river and check-raises out of the big blind from 3,000 to 9,000. Both opponents fold and Manole rakes in the pot.

Micha Hoedemaker – 85,000
Mihai Manole – 78,000
Marcello Miniucchi – 48,000
