Montalban on Monster Stack After Ku Calls Off

Jaroslaw Sikora raised to 2,000 in the hijack. Taerim Ku three-bet to 6,000 from the small blind, which big blind Manel Montalban four-bet to 14,000.

Sikora quickly got out of the way before Ku tossed in a call to the 6♦6♥J♦ flop. Ku check-called Montalban's bet of 7,000, after which Montalban sized up to 24,000 on the 4♠ turn.

Ku check-called once more, and the 7♣ river rolled off. This time, Montalban moved all in, covering the 44,000 chips of Ku. Ku spent some time in the tank and threw in a calling chip after several minutes.

Montalban tabled K♠K♣ for an overpair, beating the Q♦J♠ of Ku, who booked a late-night exit.
