Jans Arends opened to 32,000 from middle position and Micahel Moncek defended from the big blind.
Moncek check-called a 21,000 bet from Arends on the J♠K♠7♥ flop.
The players checked the 10♣ turn leading to the A♣ on the river. Michael Moncek moved all in to put Arends at risk.
Arends quickly called and tabled Q♦J♥ for the nut straight. Moncek flashed a Jack before throwing his cards into the muck.

When it comes to the World Series of Poker (WSOP), six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu is typically found in bigger buy-in events. He’s among poker’s elite often competing for $25K Fantasy and Player of the Year points, and buy-ins in excess of $10,000 give him the best chance at both, not to mention his first bracelet since 2013.
For instance, he finished 22nd in Event #2: $25,000 High Roller Six-Handed NLH for $50,000, though he failed to bag Day 1 of Event #23: $50,000 High Roller (8-Handed) after firing two bullets.
However, on Wednesday after busting early on Day 2 of Event #16: $25,000 High Roller, “Kid Poker” opted to become a man of the people by hopping into Day 1a of Event #18: $300 Gladiators of Poker, which boasted a $3 million guarantee.
