Moncrief Tells the Truth

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Norman Moncrief raised to 400 from under the gun, and John Renzi promptly three-bet to 1,400 as next to act. Ryan McCarroll made the call in the big blind, and Moncrief came along to the 64K flop.

McCarroll and Moncrief checked to Renzi, who continued for 600. McCarroll folded before Moncrief check-raised to 1,500.

Renzi called to the K turn, where both players checked. Moncrief then led out for 3,000 on the 5 river, and Renzi thought it over before sliding his cards to the dealer.

"I wouldn't lie to you," Moncrief said as he showed the K while raking in the pot.
