Montgomery Escapes Again
Level 16
: Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Yarron Bendor earned three quarters of James Chen (US) and then was involved in a three-way pot that had Kyle Montgomery all-in and at risk. He was up against Bendor and Jason Daly, the latter of which check-folded the Q♣8♠8♥5♠ turn to a bet by Bendor.
"I think I am in big trouble here, do you have a big pair again? Aces?" Montgomery asked prior to the showdown and was then puzzled.
Kyle Montgomery: J♣J♠4♣2♠
Yarron Bendor: A♦9♦9♥3♣
Montgomery had decent chances to scoop it all for a triple up but the 2♥ on the river ensured a chop instead.
One table over, Nacho Barbero scooped Jay Kerbel with a rivered full house while Christopher Stephan has become one of the short stacks.
