Moncek Triples Up
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action picked up with a player all in, recent arrival Mike Moncek all in and at risk, and Eric Wasserson, who had both players covered, waiting his turn to act on the button.
Wasserson then moved all in, which forced out the two players in the blinds. The cards were then tabled.
Mike Moncek: 4?4? 
Opponent: Q?Q?
Eric Wasserson: A?A?
Wasserson, who was in a side pot against the player with pocket queens, was in position to knock out two players, but the situation immediately changed when the dealer fanned 3?4?9? on the flop.
The 6? appeared on the turn, and then 8? on the river to give two-time WSOP bracelet winner Moncek the main pot and Wasserson the side pot.
