Moncek's Comeback Continues
Level 24
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha
Youness Barakat limped in from the cutoff. Chongxian Yang on the button and Ben Lamb in the small blind followed suit, but Michael Moncek raised to 500,000.
Only Barakat made the call to the 7♣8♦X♠ flop, where Moncek's remaining 270,000 chips flew in.
Michael Moncek: Q♠Q♣6♠2♣ 
Youness Barakat: A♣8♠5♥4♣
Moncek's queens remained best on the K♥J♦ runout, and "Texas Mike" doubled up to a stack of 18 big blinds.
