Montalban on Monster Stack After Ku Calls Off
Level 10
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jaroslaw Sikora raised to 2,000 in the hijack. Taerim Ku three-bet to 6,000 from the small blind, which big blind Manel Montalban four-bet to 14,000.
Sikora quickly got out of the way before Ku tossed in a call to the 6?6?J? flop. Ku check-called Montalban's bet of 7,000, after which Montalban sized up to 24,000 on the 4? turn.
Ku check-called once more, and the 7? river rolled off. This time, Montalban moved all in, covering the 44,000 chips of Ku. Ku spent some time in the tank and threw in a calling chip after several minutes.
Montalban tabled K?K? for an overpair, beating the Q?J? of Ku, who booked a late-night exit.
