Moncek Doubles Through Le and Busts Maksimov

Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Michael Moncek raised to 16,000 from an early position and earned calls from Allan Le in the small blind and Artem Maksimov in the big blind. The A?10?2? flop brought a check from Le and Maksimov pushed all-in for the 33,000 he had left. Moncek called and then also called Le's check-raise to 110,000.
Le pushed all-in after the 8? turn and Moncek called all-in.
When the dealer pointed to Maksimov, the Russian instantly said "just run it, I am drawing dead" while he briefly showed his ace-king high combo.
Moncek had the A?Q?9?6? for the nut flush draw and a double gutshot while Le was ahead with the 10?5?2?2? for a set of deuces. The J? river gave Moncek a straight and he doubled for 238,000.
