Mike Nye doubles through Silvio Mantuano
Mike Nye moved all in from the button, and Silvio Mantuano made the call from the small blind. Mike was dominated with [Tc][9c] against Silvio's [Ad][9d], but Mike seemed to have confidence in his hand. After asking the dealer to rearrange his cards so the ten was closest to the flop, Mike flopped two pair on the [Ts][9s][Jc]. The [7d] on the turn left Mike dodging an 8 to chop or an ace for a bigger two pair. When the river fell the [7h], Mike escaped elimination and doubled up to approximately 1.5 million.
