Moncek Silences the Crowd With a Flush

Level 32 : 150,000/300,000, 0 ante

Ben Ross limped in, then called when Michael Moncek raised.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and Moncek bet. Ross called and the turn came the {5-Diamonds}.

Moncek bet again and, this time, Ross raised. Moncek re-raised and Ross called to see the {2-Clubs} on the river. Ross called another bet.

Moncek turned over {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the turned flush.

"All I had to do was fade a diamond. I flopped two pair," Ross said, his loud rail suddenly falling silent.

"That was almost it."

Ross Takes Three in a Row

Ben Ross
Ben Ross

Ben Ross raised and Michael Moncek called.

The dealer fanned a flop of {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Moncek check-called a bet. When the {k-Diamonds} hit the turn, Moncek quickly check-folded to another bet from Ross.

On the following hand, Moncek raised and Ross defended the big blind.

When the flop came {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Ross check-raised and Moncek mucked his hand.

The next hand, Ross limped on the button and Moncek raised his option. Ross called.

The dealer spread a flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Moncek check-called a bet from Ross.

The {6-Clubs} turn brought in a possible flush and Moncek check-raised Ross, and Moncek called.

The {10-Spades} double paired the board and Moncek bet out before getting raised by Ross. Ross clapped in excitement as Moncek was in the tank.

"What do you have?" asked Monsek.
"What do you have betting 300,000 on the river?" He responded.
"Not much," Monsek chuckled.

Eventually Monsek tossed his hand into the muck, giving the third pot in a row to Ross.

The dealer spread a flop of {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and the action checked through to the river as the {4-Hearts} peeled on the turn.

The {2-Hearts} landed on the river, putting the fourth heart and Moncek checked to Ross who put in a bet. Moncek called and rolled over {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} immediately for a set on the turn.

"Good call," said Ross as he showed {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.
