Monaghan Doubles After Going Five Ways
Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Michael Moncek raised to 28,000 in middle position, which gathered calls from Jeremy Druckman in the hijack and Steven Sarmiento on the button, before Adam Monaghan and Max Neugebauer got involved from the small and big blind.
Monaghan didn't dally around on the 9♠2♥4♥ flop, leading out for full pot - 148,000. Moncek and Sarmiento both called, but Neugebauer and Druckman folded.
Monaghan moved all in for 32,000 on the Q♥ turn, which saw Moncek fold and Sarmiento call.
Adam Monaghan: A♥K♦9♥9♦
Steven Sarmiento: A♦Q♠9♣4♦
Sarmiento required a queen on the river to improve to a full house, but the 8♦ river was unforthcoming, giving Monaghan a more than double-up.
