Moncek Plays It Safely
Level 16
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Michael Moncek opened to 160,000 in the cutoff and Nick Petrangelo called from the small blind. The flop came 
and both players checked to the 
on the turn.
Petrangelo checked again and Moncek opted to see the 
on the river for free. Petrangelo finally led out with a bet of 185,000 and Moncek quickly called. Petrangelo tabled 
but Moncek flipped over 
for the better two pair.
"Checked on the turn?" Phil Ivey questioned after the hand. Petrangelo nodded to confirm and Ivey's eyes grew wide.
