Moncek Has to Settle for Cruel Chop

Michael Moncek: XxXx / JxAx folded on fourth street
Carlos Chadha: XxXx / 9x3x
Michael Moncek completed with a jack and called a raise by Carlos Chadha. When picking up an ace on fourth, Moncek faced a bet by Chadha and folded.
Michael Moncek: 2x3x / 7x4x9xAx / Qx
Carlos Chadha: 10x4x / 7x2x7xAx / 3x
Moncek completed and then made it three bets when Chadha had raised, with his opponent calling. Moncek bet fourth with 170,000 behind and earned a call from Chadha, who paired his seven on fifth. Moncek moved all-in and Chadha called after a few seconds.
When both caught an ace on sixth, Moncek was a huge favourite to double despite failing to improve with a Qx.
"Only a three to chop," Jerry Wong said and Chadha flipped over his last card without peeling to reveal ... a 3x for a chop.
