Monroe Makes the Nuts to Double

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Rich Monroe
Rich Monroe

Noomis Jones limped in from middle position and saw action fold around to Rich Monroe, who went all in from the small blind for 22,000. Will Berry was in the big blind and went all in over the top for 28,200, putting action back on Jones.

"I hate folding, you know?" said Jones after around 40 seconds in the tank. "I fold," he said as he showed {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}.

Rich Monroe: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Will Berry: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The board came out {3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, giving Monroe the nut flush to crack Berry's tens, securing the double while leaving Berry short with less than half of Level 9 remaining before the dinner break and the last chance to register.
