Glantz and Ding Double Through Moncek

Level 18 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Matt Glantz
Matt Glantz

Matt Glantz raised to 210,000 and then called all-in when big stack Michael Moncek reraised.

Matt Glantz: AKK2
Michael Moncek: AK72

"I was going for sevens," Moncek joked but found none of them on the JJ4 flop. The A turn made a split pot likely but the J river gave Glantz a full house, as he doubled for 340,000.

Moncek then clashed with Biao Ding in a battle of the blinds when they got it in after a 1093 flop.

Biao Ding: QJ98
Michael Moncek: K876

The 7 turn and 10 river improved Ding to a jack-high straight to double for 625,000 before they went on a scheduled break.

Ioannis Angelou-Konstas

With 510,000 in the middle to the K108 flop, Ioannis Angelou-Konstas checked out of the big blind. Michael Moncek bet 200,000 on the button and the Greek reluctantly splashed in his short stack.

Ioannis Angelou-Konstas: Q1076
Michael Moncek: K432

Moncek was ahead with the top pair against Angelou-Konstas with middle pair and a gutshot on a three-card flush flop. The J turn gave Angelou-Konstas some more outs to a straight but the K river only improved Moncek to trips kings.
