Moncek Chops
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
A player raised to 3,600 from under the gun, and was called by the cutoff and small blind, before Michael Moncek three-bet shoved for 36,400 in the big blind. Action folded back to the small blind.
"Is it really really light?" the small blind asked Moncek, who smirked and said, "It could be lighter..."
A few moments later, the small blind called.
Michael Moncek: 
Opponent: 
The two shared a laugh, and although the 
flop gave Moncek's opponent a runner-runner flush draw, the 
turn ensured the duo would chop before the 
could fall on the river.

Sanzoro's Kings Get Cracked
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
After a raise from Jack Torcolese in middle position, Steven Sanzaro had three-bet to 12,200, only for Torcolese to four-bet to 34,200.
"You woulda shipped it if you had aces," Sanzoro said to himself. Sanzoro five-bet jammed for 91,100, and Torcolese, who had 96,400 total, called immediately.
Steven Sanzaro: 
Jack Torcolese: 
Sanzaro's kings would fall behind immediately, as the 
flop left Sanzaro searching for one of the last two kings in the deck to survive. The 
turn and 
river bricked off, and Sanzaro sighed and said, "Right read..."
He then stood up and shook off the bad beat, saying, "What can you do? It's poker. Good luck, guys!" before taking his leave.

Quinterol Mallette:

Trost Gets an Optimum Runout to Double
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
There was already 15,000 in the pot and a 
board on the felt, when Vlad Tkachuk bet enough to put Craig Trost at risk for his last 18,400.
"All in," Trost said immediately, and turned over 
for a turned full house.
Tkachuk could only grin and show his 
for an inferior full house that he found on the river, and Trost doubled up.
