Carlos Chadha completed and was called by Jerry Wong. Chadha bet his advantage on fourth and fifth street with Wong coming around before he paired the ace on sixth. Wong bet his lead and Chadha called.

On seventh street, Wong bet again and Chadha asked him how many chips he had behind. That was another 175,000 and Chadha reluctantly called.

"Seven five," Wong declared and tabled his Qx7xAx for a seven-five-four. Chadha exposed his 9x8x3x for an eight-seven briefly and took another hit to his stack.

Both tussled again shortly after with Wong completing and Moncek as the bring-in calling. Wong bet fourth to get a quick call and then bet fifth once more. Moncek asked the dealer to spread the pot and reluctantly called.

When Moncek paired his deuce and faced a bet by Wong, he gasped a "Jesus Christ" and tank-folded another two minutes later.

Moncek then won the next pot on fifth street against Carlos Chadha.

Michael Moncek Eliminated in 3rd Place ($133,177)

Livello 26 : Limits 120,000/240,000, 30,000 ante

Jerry Wong: 6x8x / 8xQx2x2x / 4x
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.
