Monahoyios Shows the Semi-Bluff
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Rayan Chamas opened to 2,700 from under the gun and received calls from Khaly Dang in the cutoff and Ian Monahoyios in the big blind.
The flop came 7?6?4?. Monahoyios checked, Chamas bet 6,500, Dang called and Monahoyios called.
Chamas bet again when checked to on the A? turn, this time for 12,000. Dang folded before Monahoyios went all in, covering Chamas who had roughly 15,000 behind.
Chamas took about 90 seconds before opting to fold. Monahoyios showed 9?8? for nine-high and a straight draw before dragging in a healthy pot without showdown.
Also at this table is Jeffrey Cormier, who has built a considerable stack and is approaching 300,000 in chips.
