Texas Mike Misfires
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Michael Moncek, aka Texas Mike, was in and out of the event in short order, having suffered three knockouts in one level.
The last came with him in the big blind raising to 4,200, the maximum. Stian Usterud reraised the pot and Moncek called all in.
Michael Moncek: K♣K♥9♣6♣
Stian Usterud: K♠K♦Q♦3♦
The similar hands looked far different as soon as the flop hit 10♦J♦A♠, giving Usterud an ace-high straight and a straight flush draw. Moncek backed away from the table and began packing up as the 8♥4♠ came on the turn and river to finish the runout.
