Brent Hanks Eliminated in 4th Place ($78,774)

Level 27
Brent Hanks - 4th place
Brent Hanks - 4th place

Stud 8/b

Brent Hanks brought it in with the {8-Clubs} up, and John Monnette completed with the {K-Diamonds}. Hanks made the call, and their hands ran out thusly:

Hanks: (x-x) / {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} / (x)
Monnette: (x-x) / {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} / (x)

Both players checked fourth street, and Monnette bet fifth. He bet again on sixth, and Hanks check-called one last bullet on seventh. It was the one that put him all in for about 65,000, and he'd soon be all the way out. Monnette turned up {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} in the hole, and he finished with kings and a seven-low to scoop the pot. Hanks tabled his {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, on his way out the door to collect fourth-place money. It's worth $78,774 -- not bad for a couple days' work.
