Trip Jacks for Monnette

John Monnette completed with the {J-Clubs} and Jeff Lisandro called with his {5-Clubs}. Monnette proceeded to fire every street while Lisandro called him down every step of the way.

Monnette: {J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{K-Spades} / {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Lisandro: (x-x) / {5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} / (x)

Lisandro's cards remained a mystery as he sent them to the muck after seeing Monnette's trip jacks.

Vinh vs. Monnette . . . Again

Huu Vinh
Huu Vinh

It seems like every other hand John Monnette and Huu Vinh are going at it. In a recent hand, Vinh completed with the {Q-Diamonds} and was called by his nemesis, who was showing the {8-Clubs}. Monnette took the lead on the turn and led out, only to have Vinh put in a raise. Monnette made the call and then check-called bets on both fifth and sixth streets before both players checked seventh.

Vinh: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / {Q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Monnette: (x-x) / {8-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} / (x)

Vinh sheepishly turned over his pair of queens, but it proved enough to get the job done.

Pot for Finne

Tim Finne
Tim Finne

Tim Finne brought it in with the {3-Diamonds} and then called after Huu Vinh completed and John Monnette raised. Vinh also came along for the ride, but checked the turn. That opened the door for Monnette to bet, which both Finne and Vinh called. Fifth street saw Monnette lead out with a bet, Finne raise and Vinh get out of the way.

Monnette made the call, check-called a bet on sixth and then check-folded on seventh.

Finne: (x-x) / {3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs} / (x)
Monnette: (x-x) / {Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} / (x)
Vinh: (x-x) / {2-Hearts}{J-Hearts} fold

Monnette Gets Some Back From Vinh

Huu Vinh completed with the {K-Spades} only to have John Monnette raise with the {A-Hearts}. The rest of the field got out of the way, Vinh called, and Monnette put out a bet on the turn. Vinh would call that bet, plus on on fifth, before betting on sixth after a check from Monnette. The latter made the call and then led out on seventh, which Vinh paid off.

Vinh: (x-x) / {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} / (x)
Monnette: {A-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} / {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

Monnette caught two pair on the river as Vinh shot out of his chair to get a good look at his opponent's holdings. He stared for a few moments and then sent his cards to the muck.

"Got Where?"

After John Monnette brought it in, Huu Vinh completed and Bryn Kenney made the call. Monnette came along for the ride and it was three-way action to the turn, which saw Vinh bet out. Kenney opted to get out of the way while Monnette called. Fifth street paired Monnette and he led out, but Vinh presented him with a raise. Monnette made the call and then turned right around and led out on sixth.

This time Vinh called, but he'd soon bet on seventh after Monnette check. "Finally got there?" Monnette asked before folding.

"Got where?" Vinh asked innocently as he raked in the pot.

Vinh: (x-x) / {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / (x)
Monnette: (x-x) / {3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} / (x)
Kenney: 9x-x) / {7-Spades}{6-Clubs} fold

Huu Vinh
Huu Vinh

Huu VInh, who final tabled the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event a few days ago, just won a nice pot off the chip leader.

Monnette: (x-x) / {10-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Spades}
Vinh: (x-x) / {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} / (x)

Raymond Dehkharghani Eliminated in 8th Place ($22,332)

Raymond Dehkharghani - 8th place
Raymond Dehkharghani - 8th place

A series of raises saw Raymond Dehkharghani all in on third and at risk against Tim Finne.

Dehkharghani: {2-Spades}{7-Diamonds} / {7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{5-Clubs} / {8-Clubs}
Finne: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} / {7-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{4-Hearts} / {J-Diamonds}

Dehkharghani's sevens were in the lead when the money went in, but he feel behind when Finne paired his queen on the turn. Neither fifth nor sixth streets were overly exciting, but seventh, which gave Finne two pair, left Dehkharghani in need of the case seven on the river to survive. He squeezed it out and it was four-across and a club, but it turned out to be the useless {8-Clubs}. With that, Dehkharghani exited in eighth place for $22,332.
