Texas Mikey Plays No Good Today
Michael Moncek raised to 40,000 on the button and Martin Kabrhel called from the big blind. The flop came 9♦7♣3♣ and Kabrhel check-called a bet of 50,000 from Moncek.
The turn was the 3♠ and Kabrhel check-called another bet of 115,000 from Moncek. The river was the K♥ and Kabrhel was ready to dance. He opted to check a third time and Moncek threw in a bet of 205,000. Kabrhel looked him up and Moncek showed 8♣6♣ for a missed combo draw. Kabrhel turned over A♦J♥ for just ace-high but it was good enough to win the pot.
"Don't play like this against me, Mikey," Kabrhel started on a rant. "Anyone else you can do that, but not me. I'm a station, a gas station. Do you know what that is?"
On the next hand, Sean Winter raised it up from under the gun and Moncek three-bet to 115,000 in the cutoff. Winter four-bet jammed all in for 505,000 and Moncek called.
Winter flipped over 10♠10♥ while Moncek had two over cards with A♣J♠. The board ran out clean for Winter to hold with his pocket tens, leaving Moncek on a short stack.
