Conrad Monica Eliminated in 14th Place ($17,488)

Conrad Monica - 14th place
Conrad Monica - 14th place

Usually, when players go into the tank before the flop, they wind up folding their hand. Thus we were expecting a fold from Conrad Monica in a recent hand against Carter Phillips. Hugo Perez opened to 36,000 in front of Monica, who called on the button. Phillips, from the big blind, then moved all in.

"Really!" said Perez. He quickly folded. That put the decision to Monica, who had 300,000 behind. He thought it over for about a minute before announcing, "Call."

Monica: {k-Spades} {j-Spades}
Phillips: {a-Spades} {q-Hearts}

If the chips hadn't gone all in pre-flop, they surely would have gone in on an action flop of {q-Spades} {2-Spades} {a-Diamonds}. Phillips made top two pair; Monica had a double-digit draw. The board blanked out {5-Hearts} and {6-Clubs} to end Monica's run. He leaves in 14th place with $17,488.

Phillips now has about 1.1 million chips.
