Monnin Takes a Five-Bet Pot with Aces

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Christophe Monnin
Christophe Monnin

Ludwig de Saint-Etienne opened from under the gun, then Antoine Talvard in middle position three-bet. The button four-bet to 7,300 but saw Christophe Monnin in the small blind five-bet to 20,000.

De Saint-Etienne folded and later said he had kings. Talvard folded as well and said he had ace-king, but the button decided to call.

The dealer fanned a flop of 9108 where Monnin jammed for 28,200. The button eventually made the call.

Button: QQ All in
Christophe Monnin: AA

All the players around the tables were not suprised to discovered Monnin's aces. He won this big pot after the 54 runout, while the button was eliminated on the next hand.
