Monroig Takes it Down
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Six players put in the 16,000 necessary to keep their hole cards and see a flop, and it checked all the way through to the cutoff as it came down 5♠Q♣4♥. Michael Heritsch bet out for 80,000 into the field, and Michael Monroig was his only caller.
The turn 8♥ checked through, and it was Monroig who took aggressive action on the K♣ river, as he bet out for 175,000. Heritsch was clearly in a spot, but eventually surrendered his cards as Monroig picked up a sizeable pot.
