Mandel Rides Cowboys to the Rail

When we walked over, Scott Mandel and his opponent had all of their chips in the middle facing a board of {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Spades}. Mandel, who finished fifth in the $5k PLO event earlier in the series, held {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, Unfortunately for him, the other player had the nuts. Kind of tough to beat quad queens. After both stacks had been counted and recounted, it turns out that Mandel was just covered. He shook hands with his opponent and headed to the hall.
