Marino Eliminates Moncek to Take the Chip Lead
Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Moncek raised to 11,000 in the cutoff and John Marino three-bet to 35,000 out of the small blind. Moncek called and the dealer spread the flop of 8?4?3?.
Marino led out with a bet of 30,000 and Moncek quickly called as the 4? paired the board on the turn. Marino slid out another bet of 75,000 and Moncek still called.
The river was the 7? and Marino instantly shoved all in for 292,000. Moncek counted his stack of 264,000 and deliberated for a minute before dropping in some chips to call. Marino tabled 6?4? for trip fours while Moncek flashed 6?6? before he exited the tournament.
