The artist formerly known as the Bubble King, Manus Burke, continued his amost surreal run of luck last night to finish second to newcomer Saulius Jakaitis in the MId Month Madness.
Manus was all-in with AQ against TT, AK against TT and 66 against 99. According to the mathematicians Manus had a 3.75% chance of winning all three of these hands but seasoned onlookers knew what was about to happen each time.
Only when Manus went in well ahead 97 against Saulius's 53 did the Duck lose out, two pair flopped for Manus but he lost to a 4 flush.
Over 1200 points won in the League in 4 weeks have catapulted Manus to first place in the race to €1000, will his luck hold out for another month?
