Moncek Bluffs it All Away
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michael Moncek opened to 210,000 on the button and Anuj Agarwal defended in the big blind.
Agarwal check-called a bet of 275,000 on the 2♥2♠6♥ flop.
Both players checked through the J♥ turn to the Q♥ river at which point Agarwal led out for 300,000. Moncek responded by moving all in for 1,500,000. That sent Agarwal deep into the tank, but after burning through a couple of time extensions, he made the call holding A♥Q♠8♥4♠ for the nut flush.
The flush was good as Moncek had attempted a bluff with A♣8♣3♦2♣ (trip deuces) to hit the rail just before the three table redraw.
