Givens Takes from Rich

Rich Monroe opened to 2,500 from under the gun and Will Givens three-bet to 7,000 from middle position. Action folded back to Monroe and he asked if it was seven thousand before making the call.

"It could have been more!" said Givens, smiling as the dealer brought the flop .

"Check," said Monroe. Givens checked behind. The turn came and Monroe fired 11,500 forward.

"I see we both flopped big," Givens said as he called. The river came .

"Check," Monroe quickly said. Givens checked behind to take the hand to showdown.

Monroe tabled for two pair, sevens and sixes.

"Yep! We both flopped big!" Givens said as he tabled , good for eights up and the pot. "You haven't changed one bit, Rich!" Givens said as he reached across to give him a fist bump before stacking his newly-accumulated chips.
