Michael Moncek raised to 900 from middle position, and Aristide Carozza in the cutoff made the call. Then the small blind Chris Dandrea three-bet to 3,300. After it folded back to Moncek, he four-bet all in for 19,100. Carozza folded, and after confirming the count Dandrea made the call.
Michael Moncek: A?7?
Chris Dandrea: A?K?
Moncek was dominated by the ace-king of Dandrea, and the 9?Q?3? flop was no help to Moncek. The 10? on the turn did bring Moncek more outs with a flush draw. But when the 9? hit the river, Dandrea's ace-king high was still best, and Moncek was eliminated from the tournament.
