Monahoyios Shows the Semi-Bluff
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Rayan Chamas opened to 2,700 from under the gun and received calls from Khaly Dang in the cutoff and Ian Monahoyios in the big blind.
The flop came 7♣6♣4♥. Monahoyios checked, Chamas bet 6,500, Dang called and Monahoyios called.
Chamas bet again when checked to on the A♠ turn, this time for 12,000. Dang folded before Monahoyios went all in, covering Chamas who had roughly 15,000 behind.
Chamas took about 90 seconds before opting to fold. Monahoyios showed 9♠8♥ for nine-high and a straight draw before dragging in a healthy pot without showdown.
Also at this table is Jeffrey Cormier, who has built a considerable stack and is approaching 300,000 in chips.
