Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Arthur Morris limped in under the gun, Michael Moncek did so as well in middle position, and the player in the big blind checked. Morris then checked on the 9♦7♠2♥ flop, and Moncker bet 23,000 chips, around half of his remaining starting stack.

The big blind folded and Morris called. The 4♣ fell on the turn and Morris put Moncek all in, with the latter making a quick call.

Michael Moncek: Q♠J♠9♠8♠ All in
Arthur Morris: A♠A♣Q♣2♠

Morris' aces held as the 4♦ river paired the board, and Moncek quickly exited the tournament area.
