Level 39
: Blinds 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
Craig Varnell opened to 3,500,000 in late position and Michael Moncek in the cutoff shoved for 11,400,000. When action went back to him, Varnell threw in a chip for a call.
Michael Moncek: A♣10♦
Craig Varnell: K♦Q♥
Moncek was looking at a potential double-up when he hit the 10♣6♥3♥ with a pair. The J♦ turn gave Varnell more outs to improve but the 10♥ fell on the river, giving Moncek trips and a much-needed double-up.
