There were even starting stacks to start the tourney. But just six minutes into Level 1, Brian Monigold had a player’s entire stack.
A player in late position raised preflop, and then the player to his immediate left three-bet.
Monigold, who was next to act on the cutoff, looked down at his hand and four-bet to 3,500, which forced out the original raiser. The player to his immediate right then five-bet to 10,000, which Monigold elected to flat.
The dealer fanned 10♥10♦9♥ on the flop, which Monigold’s opponent led out with 4,000. Manigold called.
The turn saw 7♦, which Monigold’s opponent check. Monigold went all in, and the player to his right called to put his tournament life at stake.
Opponent: K♣K♥
Brian Monigold: A♦A♥
The river produced J♠, which sealed Monigold as the winner and sent his opponent to the rail.
