Montgomery Wins a Flip
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alex Montgomery opened to 10,000 from middle position and Edward Quinn three-bet the small blind to 40,000. When the action got back to Montgomery, he shoved for 110,000, and Quinn called.
Alex Montgomery: A♠J♠ 
Edward Quinn: 8♠8♣
It was a fair flip that favored Quinn after the Q♠7♥9♦ flop. However, Montgomery took the lead on the J♦ turn, which also gave Quinn a gutshot straight draw. The 3♠ river didn't change anything, and Montgomery earned himself a double-up.
