Mondalo Scores a Big Double
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Bonifacio Mondalo reraised to 3,500 on the button only for Hao Cheng to then make it 8,800 to go. Any other opponents got out of the way while Mondalo called. Cheng's continuation bet on the Q♦J♣6♥ flop for 6,500 resulted in a call and Cheng then pushed all-in after the 2♥ turn.
Mondalo tanked for more than a minute and called it off for the 25,400 he had behind.
Bonifacio Mondalo: 10♦6♦
Hao Cheng: K♣K♠
The 10♥ on the river let several players gasp in shock as Mondalo pulled a rabbit out of the hat with a miracle double, while Cheng was left crushed in his chair.
