Michael Moncek

In a three-way pot on a board of J7J8, Marius Gierse checked from the small blind and Chance Kornuth bet 170,000 in the big blind. Michael Moncek called in the cutoff and Gierse check-raised to 400,000. Kornuth folded and Moncek called.

Gierse then moved all in on the 5 turn and Moncek met him with a snap-call. Gierse tabled 88 for eights full, putting a tough beat on Moncek with KJ for trip jacks as "Texas Mike" was eliminated in eighth place for $118,753.
