Brutal River Leaves Moncek With Dust
Level 14
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Seth Davies in the small blind and Michael Moncek in the big blind were all in with nearly identical stacks.
Seth Davies: 10♥10♦ 
Michael Moncek: A♣K♣
It was a flip with enormous equity implications for both players. The 5♥9♠A♠ flop immediately vaulted Moncek into the lead while the 4♠ turn left Davies needing a miracle to survive. A miracle did come on the 10♠ river to give Davies a massive double to leave Moncek with dust.
