Conlan Ends The "One Chip Wonders" Dream
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Eddie Valladares opened from under the gun to 25,000 and it folded to Eduardo Montoya in the hijack who moved all in for his last 13,000. Jonas Conlan was in the big blind and reshoved with a bigger stack to fold out Valladares and the cards were shown.
Eduardo Montoya: A♣K♣
Jonas Conlan: Q♠Q♣
It was a classic flip situation, but when the board ran out 5♥3♠2♣6♦2♥, it was the queens for Conlan that ended the comeback for Montoya as he made his way to the exit just before the bubble.
"Sorry I ended the dream of the one chip wonder," joked Conlan as he scooped in the pot referring to a few hands ago when Montoya had only one chip left.
