SusieQue Down Once, Up Twice

Susie Moncek
Susie Moncek
A middle-aged man under the gun open-shoved for his last ~11,000 chips holding {A-?} {J-?}. Action passed around to Susie "SusieQue" Moncek, and she made the call with {K-?} {K-?} to put her opponent at risk. To her frustration, an ace peeled off the deck to ship the man across the table a much-needed double up.

That pot dropped SusieQue down to 8,300, and she would be all in a short time later with {A-?} {5-?}. She was looked up by an opponent with pocket fours, and Moncek managed to find herself a second {5-?} on board to notch a crucial double.

A few hands later, Moncek again moved in, this time with {A-?} {K-?}. She was up against another pocket pair, {5-?} {5-?}. Once again, Susie would win the race, pulling a king off the deck to double again.

After that exchange, Moncek has climbed up over 30,000.
