Michael Moncek: 5xQx / 5xAx5x7x / 9x
Jerry Wong had the bring-in and Michael Moncek completed by raising all in for 100,000. Carlos Chadha folded and Wong started thinking.
"I'm spotting you a card," he said while flashing an eight down for a pair of eights. It was 70,000 more for him to call, which he ultimately did.
"Ok, let's see what we've got," Moncek said while turning over his two down cards, perhaps indicating he might not have looked.
Both players started with a pair, but by the end of it both had queen lows. Unfortunately for Moncek, his queen-nine was barely bested by Wong's queen-eight.
