Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Montes Amassing Mountains

Level 26 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 18
Chip Average: 3,100,000

The action at table would be picked up on the flop (3♦ 4♥ 5♦), in a hand between Dennis Thurman, Sergio Loureiro, and Jose Montes.  Thurman sat with a bet of 350,000 in front of him, and Loureiro (on the button) with a call laid out across the line.  With action on Montes, he shoved for 1,650,000, and was called by Thurman.  Sergio folded behind and the hands were tabled:

Flop: 3♦ 4♥ 5♦

Montes: A♠ A♣      Thurman: 6♦ 6♣ 

Turn: 5♣

River: 9♠

Montes faded Thurman's open ended/three of a kind outs, and would more than double up to 4,100,000.  After absorbing the loss, Dennis drops down to 4,400,000, still well above the chip average.
