Michael Moncek arrived at the $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em field and immediately got to action.

First, he doubled up Chris Nguyen and then chopped with ace-ten against the ace-ten of Orpen Kisacikoglu.

Nguyen then limped from under the gun and called a shove from Moncek for his last 106,000.

Michael Moncek: K♠3♣ All in
Chris Nguyen: A♣6♠

A three on the Q♥8♥3♦ flop put Moncek in the lead, but the 5♥A♥ runout gave Nguyen a pair.

With just 5,000 chips remaining, Moncek caught the floor person's attention and opted to surrender his stack to immediately re-enter.
