Moncek Flops a Set, Still Finds a Way to Lose
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Mike Moncek and Adrien Delmas got all of their chips in the middle after a couple of preflop raises. Delmas was the player at risk for 328,000 and the two players were flipping.
Adrien Delmas: A♣Q♥
Mike Moncek: 9♥9♦
"Martin, we've got a flip," Moncek said to Martin Kabrhel at an adjacent table.
"He's drawing dead," Kabrhel joked, pointing to Delmas.
The flop came 9♣8♠2♠ to give Moncek a set of nines, leaving Delmas drawing slim at best. However, the 10♠ on the turn and the J♣ on the river gave Delmas a straight and he surprisingly doubled up.
