Michael Moncek Eliminated in 6th Place ($172,300)
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Nikolaos Lampropoulos opened to 550,000 from early position before Dan Shak moved all in for 1,700,000 in late position. It was then on Michael Moncek in the small blind who burned a timebank while he was in the tank and eventually moved all in himself. Lampropoulos snap called and they were off to a full board with both Shak and Moncek at risk.
Dan Shak: K?K?5?8?
Michael Moncek: 7?6?5?4?
Nikolaos Lampropoulos: A?A?2?9?
The Q?10?Q? flop hit the felt with Shak and Moncek falling further behind. The J? turn had them drawing slim but the miracle K? river gave Shak top boat and a massive triple to vault him into the lead and up the leaderboard.
Moncek hit the rail after Lampropoulos collected a small side pot.
