Moncek Bluffs Spirins

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Michael Moncek
Michael Moncek

This hand was picked up on the turn of a board that read 109J6 with approximately 400,000 in the middle.

Pavels Spirins checked it over to Michael Moncek, who bet 305,000 in position. Spirins called.

The A river put four hearts on the board. Spirins checked again, and Moncek followed through with a shove for 1,175,000.

Spirins went into the tank stating, "I have to call, but my read says don't call."

After some deliberation, Spirins tossed his cards in the muck as he went with his read.

Moncek tabled K9 for a bluff to the amusement of the table as he took in the chips.

Following a Roman Hrabec open from the cutoff, Thomas Eychenne got all of his chips in the middle, totalling 1,180,000. Hrabec was right there with him, and the two went off to a runout.

Thomas Eychenne: AK All in
Roman Hrabec: AQ

It was a topsy turvy runout, as Hrabec soared into the lead on the 8Q6 flop. Eychenne then drilled the K on the turn to regain the lead, and held as the 5 river secured his double.

Spirins Raises Massive

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river, with a board reading 96346. Big blind Michael Moncek was sat with 80,000 as his bet, into a pot of around 300,000. His opponent in the hand, Pavels Spirins in early position, postured for a while before putting in a huge raise, to the tune of 650,000. This was for most of Moncek's stack, and he went deep into the tank. Eventually, he put in the call, and saw the bad news as Spirins tabled A2 for the backdoored nut flush.
