Moncek Bluffs it Off
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Cliff Josephy opened A♠7♠ to 160,000 under the gun. Michael Moncek flatted from the cutoff, and the two went off to a flop as everybody else folded.
Josephy continued for 175,000 on a flop of 5♣8♥4♠ and Moncek came along, only for Josephy to hit the best turn in the deck in the form of the 6♠, giving him a straight and the nut flush draw. He sneakily checked, then tank-called Moncek's 335,000 turn bet.
The river 8♣ downgraded him slightly, and he checked for a second time. Moncek over-bet shoved, and Josephy snapped off to send him to the rail.
