"Get lucky," Vinh said in reference to his situation. Unfortunately for Vinh, it wasn't in the cards as Monnette paired jacks and he failed to materialize much of anything. Huu, who finished fifth in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event less than a week ago, will take home $117,913 and the satisfaction of knowing that he is a two-time Stud final tablist here at the 2012 WSOP.
Interestingly, a pair of jacks is the hand that won Monnette his first bracelet last year.
