Hand #1: After a raise to 1,500 from under the gun, Manley folded from middle position.

Hand #3: Manley folded from under the gun.
Hand #4: After a raise to 1,500 and two callers, Manley also called from the big blind. The flop checked to the original raiser who continued for 3,000. Manley was the only caller.
The pair checked the turn and the river was the . Manley bet 11,000.
"You have king-six suited or something?" asked his opponent. "I hate losing to pros man..." He eventually called, with Manley tabling for trip kings.
"Ah, king-five suited! I was close."
Hand #5: After a raise to 1,500 and a call, Manley folded his small blind.
