Sascha Manns has appeared at the final table the last two The Festival Series. Last summer he took ninth place in The Festival Series Tallinn Main Event for €3,950. He followed this up in the autumn in Bratislava with a more impressive sixth-place finish for €20,375. Manns is now on the hunt for his third final table in a row at in The Festival Series Main Event and is off to a good start.
He just headed over to Table 14 and on the very first hand he chipped up.
Manns made a standard open with ace-jack and was called by two players including Callum Highley from the big blind. Sascha fired out a continuation bet of 26,000 into a pot of around 80,000 after the ace-five-six flop. Only Highley called to see a ten follow on the turn. Manns bet 56,000 and improved to top two pair after a jack completed the board on the river.
Highley bet 100,000. Manns raised to 250,000 and Highley called. Highley turned over ace-ten and although his two pair was ahead after the turn it wasn't good enough to win the hand after the river.
We will be keeping a close eye the next few days on Manns and wish him the best of luck on his journey to his third final table in a row.
Sascha Manns - 1,200,000
Callum Highley - 750,000
