Another Pot for Negreanu; Another Moncek Double
Level 12
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
There was 425,000 in the middle on the J♣Q♠2♦6♦9♣ board. Daniel Negreanu bet 300,000 from the small blind and folded out Joni Jouhkimainen and Alex Foxen to take the pot.
The very next hand Jouhkimainen called from under the gun, and then called when Michael Moncek made it 130,000 from the button.
Jouhkimainen checked on the Q♣9♦7♥ flop and Moncek continued for 225,000, which left him with around 750,000 behind. Jouhkimainen potted to put Moncek all-in, and the latter quickly called.
Michael Moncek: 9♠9♥8♠8♥
Joni Jouhkimainen: K♠Q♦J♠8♣
Moncek had a set of nines, and was ahead of Jouhkimainen's pair and straight draw. The J♣ turn gave Jouhkimainen outs to the boat but Moncek held out to double on the 3♣ river.
