Gierse Snaps Off Moncek
Level 17
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Michael Moncek raised to 120,000 from under the gun and was looked up by Marius Gierse on the button and Chance Kornuth in the big blind.
The flop came 3♥8♦9♥ and it was checked to Gierse, who fired out for 115,000. Kornuth got out of the way and Moncek made the call.
On the 2♣ turn, Moncek checked to Gierse, who fired a second bullet of 280,000. Moncek called once more.
The A♠ peeled off on the river and Moncek led out for 540,000. Gierse tossed in the call near instantly and tabled A♥J♠ for a rivered top pair, crushing Moncek's 7♥7♦.
