Carlos Chadha: XxXx / 3x10xAx2x / Xx
Michael Moncek: XxXx / 3x6x8x3x / Xx

Carlos Chadha completed and Michael Moncek raised for Chadha to call. Moncek bet his advantage on fourth and fifth street before they both checked sixth. Chadha bet seventh and Moncek folded.

Michael Moncek: XxXx / 7x2xJxJx / Xx
Carlos Chadha: XxXx / Jx5x8x10x / Xx

Moncek then completed with a seven against a jack and Chadha came along. Another bet by Moncek on fourth was called by Chadha before Moncek check-called fifth street. Chadha then bet his lead on sixth when Moncek paired his jack and they headed to seventh.

Chadha check-called a bet by Moncek and was shown 10x8xAx for a ten-eight-seven by Moncek. As they mashed their cards together, Chadha had a Jx6x4x for a ten-eight-six and pipped Moncek by a notch to leave his opponent on fumes.

Michael Moncek: XxXx / 4x10x6x5x
Jerry Wong: XxXx / 5x2xKx4x folded on sixth street

Michael Moncek completed and was called by Jerry Wong, who then bet fourth street and earned a call from Moncek. They checked fifth street and Moncek bet sixth. Wong went into the tank and folded as both players moved to around one million in chips.

Jerry Wong: XxXx / 8x3xAx4x
Michael Moncek: XxXx / 10x2x3x2x folded on sixth street

Both tussled again shortly after with Wong completing and Moncek as the bring-in calling. Wong bet fourth to get a quick call and then bet fifth once more. Moncek asked the dealer to spread the pot and reluctantly called.

When Moncek paired his deuce and faced a bet by Wong, he gasped a "Jesus Christ" and tank-folded another two minutes later.

Moncek then won the next pot on fifth street against Carlos Chadha.

Carlos Chadha: XxXx / 6x7xAxAx / Xx
Jerry Wong: XxXx / 5xJx2x4x / Xx

Carlos Chadha completed and was called by Jerry Wong. Chadha bet his advantage on fourth and fifth street with Wong coming around before he paired the ace on sixth. Wong bet his lead and Chadha called.

On seventh street, Wong bet again and Chadha asked him how many chips he had behind. That was another 175,000 and Chadha reluctantly called.

"Seven five," Wong declared and tabled his Qx7xAx for a seven-five-four. Chadha exposed his 9x8x3x for an eight-seven briefly and took another hit to his stack.

Michael Moncek: Ax6x / 4x10x6xJx / 9x
Carlos Chadha: Ax3x / Jx8x2xKx / Kx

Carlos Chadha had the bring-in and called after Michael Moncek completed. The latter then bet fourth, the former raised, and Moncek popped it again to get all in for 275,000 total, which Chadha called.

Moncek didn't seem to like it after he paired on fifth and Chadha received a deuce, but the rest of the runout was favorable for Moncek, who made a ten-low to beat Chadha's jack-low.

Moncek Has to Settle for Cruel Chop

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Christian Zetzsche

Level 26 : Limits 120,000/240,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Moncek: XxXx / JxAx folded on fourth street
Carlos Chadha: XxXx / 9x3x

Michael Moncek completed with a jack and called a raise by Carlos Chadha. When picking up an ace on fourth, Moncek faced a bet by Chadha and folded.

Michael Moncek: 2x3x / 7x4x9xAx / Qx
Carlos Chadha: 10x4x / 7x2x7xAx / 3x

Moncek completed and then made it three bets when Chadha had raised, with his opponent calling. Moncek bet fourth with 170,000 behind and earned a call from Chadha, who paired his seven on fifth. Moncek moved all-in and Chadha called after a few seconds.

When both caught an ace on sixth, Moncek was a huge favourite to double despite failing to improve with a Qx.

"Only a three to chop," Jerry Wong said and Chadha flipped over his last card without peeling to reveal ... a 3x for a chop.
