Ian Mangan

Ian Mangan is a poker player based in Golden, Colorado, United States. His career tournament earnings total $10,209, primarily from Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) events. While not a high-profile name on the national circuit, Mangan has demonstrated solid tournament skills, particularly during the 2021 MSPT Black Hawk stop.

Mangan's most notable result came in August 2021 at the MSPT Black Hawk $1,110 Main Event, which attracted 651 entries and built a prize pool of $631,470. He navigated through a large field and eventually finished in 12th place, earning $9,472. This cash accounts for the vast majority of his recorded career earnings.

During the final day, Mangan was involved in several key hands. In Level 27 (blinds 40,000/80,000, ante 10,000), he open-jammed from the cutoff for 565,000 with A♠Q♣, but ran into Norm Tanner's A♦K♠ in the big blind. Tanner flopped an ace and Mangan was eliminated in 12th place.

Earlier, Mangan scored a double-up against Bobby Garcia when his 8♠5♠ flopped trip eights to crack Garcia's J♠J♣. He also eliminated Ryan Remington when his K♠Q♥ held against Remington's A♠5♠, reducing the field to 27 players.

Based on the limited tournament hands available, Mangan appears to play an aggressive, high-variance style. He was willing to open-jam with A-Q for 7 big blinds and called off with K-Q in a key spot. His ability to double up with marginal holdings (like 8-5 suited) suggests a willingness to take calculated risks, particularly when short-stacked.

Total lifetime tournament earnings: $10,209 (as per MSPT records). No other cashes are publicly documented outside of this event.
