Moncek Hits River Double Before Dinner

Level 21 : Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Michael Moncek
Michael Moncek

In the final hand of the level, Michael Moncek raised to 450,000 in the cutoff. Imad Derwiche reraised the pot from the next seat and Moncek got it in for Derwiche to call.

Michael Moncek: AK104
Imad Derwiche: AA64

The J107 flop gave Moncek middle pair and a gutshot broadway draw while Derwiche remained ahead with aces and held the nut flush draw. Nothing changed with the 8 turn but the 10 river gave Moncek trips tens.

Derwiche sunk into his chair and shook his head, while the stack of Moncek was counted. His double was for 1,355,000 and put another big dent into Derwiche's stack. The T-5,000 chips were then raced off and below are the updated dinner break counts of the final nine contenders.
