Moncek’s Turn Straight Gets the Job Done
Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Michael Moncek kicked things off in the hijack with a raise to 16,000. Action folded to Diogo Coelho in the big blind, who called.
On the Q♣9♥J♥ flop, Coelho check called Moncek’s 21,000 bet.
Coelho took the lead on the 8♥ turn and bet 18,000, which Moncek called.
The 6♦ completed the board and Coelho fired another bet of 42,000, which Moncek again quickly called. Coelho tabled J♦4♠ for a pair of jacks, but Moncek showed 10♣10♠ for a straight, which was enough to take down the pot.
