Marino Eliminates Moncek to Take the Chip Lead
Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Moncek raised to 11,000 in the cutoff and John Marino three-bet to 35,000 out of the small blind. Moncek called and the dealer spread the flop of 8♦4♣3♣.
Marino led out with a bet of 30,000 and Moncek quickly called as the 4♦ paired the board on the turn. Marino slid out another bet of 75,000 and Moncek still called.
The river was the 7♥ and Marino instantly shoved all in for 292,000. Moncek counted his stack of 264,000 and deliberated for a minute before dropping in some chips to call. Marino tabled 6♥4♥ for trip fours while Moncek flashed 6♣6♦ before he exited the tournament.
