James Mendoza Stands Ground

Flight B PokerStars Red Dragon (PHP 25M GTD)

Blinds: 600/1200 Ante 1200 (Level 9)


The action was folded around to lead to... The Battle of Small-Stacked Blinds.

Mac Mantos from the small blind shoved his last 10,000 all-in. Usually, James Mendoza doesn't make this call. However, Mendoza decided not to let his big blind be threatened too easily and stood his ground.


Mantos flopped a jack to stay ahead, but the poker gods awarded Mendoza a queen on the river for the victory, sending Mantos out of the tournament.
