Money Bubble Doesn't Worry "Texas Mike"
Level 17
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
John Hennigan opened to 40,000 in middle position and Michael Moncek just called in the small blind. Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 180,000 from the big blind which got Hennigan to fold. Moncek, however, quickly shoved all in for 990,000 and Chidwick eventually called.
Michael Moncek: K♥Q♦
Stephen Chidwick: 9♣9♦
The flop came J♥5♥3♦ and Chidwick was still out front with his pair of nines. The 10♦ on the turn gave Moncek a straight draw and the A♣ on the river completed it, earning him a big double up on the money bubble.
