Peinado Beneficiary of Monster Flip
Michael Moncek and Alejandro Peinado ended up with all their chips in the middle after some huge preflop action. Peinado had opened to 160,000 in the cutoff, before seeing a three-bet to 490,000 from Moncek. Peinado didn't ponder for too long, before shoving for 3,300,000, putting Moncek deep into the tank. After two whole minutes he said, almost to himself, "I'm probably ahead", and "nit roll, nit roll". The length of his tank gave Joe Cada time to get up and stretch, and after another twominutes he put in a big stack of chips, indicating a call.
Alejandro Peinado: A♠K♣ 
Michael Moncek: J♠J♣
Peinado took the lead on the K♠Q♠Q♦ flop, and secured the victory on the K♦ turn, however waited until the 2♠ river before shouting 'Vamos!" gleefully. Cada commented on the delayed celebration, saying "I like how you wait till the river to celebrate even though you had it on the turn". Peinado didn't respond, and raked in enough chips to give him the most on the table.
