Moncek Five Bet Jams
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Moncek was facing a raise to 7,000 from Nir Cohen and reraised to approximately 27,000, it folded around to the initial raiser and he three bet to well over 65,000. Moncek didn't take long thinking before putting in the five bet jam. Cohen put his chips in the middle and cards were on their backs.
Nir Cohen: A♣A♥3♣5♣
Michael Moncek: 6♦8♠9♦J♠
The board came down Ace-high and closed the door on everything but one out when Moncek made trip sixes on the turn. The river made him a boat but it wasn't enough to beat the aces full of Cohen.
Moncek recently won his second bracelet in the $5,000 NLH/PLO mix and in his post-win interview he made mention that many in the field were more skilled than him in this particular game.
