Monroig Ups the Pressure
Level 41
: 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Michael Monroig was the chip leader starting the day, and sat with around a fifth of the chips in play. He was seen chipping at the table early on.
He opened to 4,000,000 from the cutoff with K♥7♣ and saw the table make quick folds. In the next hand he opened A♠7♦ from the hijack and saw a sea of folds again.
A few hands later he was pressuring from the small blind as he open-jammed with J♣7♠ into Jacob Gagnon in the big blind who folded K♦5♠.
