Moncek Doubles Through Le and Busts Maksimov
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Michael Moncek raised to 16,000 from an early position and earned calls from Allan Le in the small blind and Artem Maksimov in the big blind. The A♦10♣2♦ flop brought a check from Le and Maksimov pushed all-in for the 33,000 he had left. Moncek called and then also called Le's check-raise to 110,000.
Le pushed all-in after the 8♣ turn and Moncek called all-in.
When the dealer pointed to Maksimov, the Russian instantly said "just run it, I am drawing dead" while he briefly showed his ace-king high combo.
Moncek had the A♣Q♣9♥6♥ for the nut flush draw and a double gutshot while Le was ahead with the 10♦5♠2♥2♣ for a set of deuces. The J♥ river gave Moncek a straight and he doubled for 238,000.
