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 9♥10♦8♣ where Monnin jammed for 28,200. The button eventually made the call.

Button: Q♠Q♣ All in
Christophe Monnin: A♥A♣

All the players around the tables were not suprised to discovered Monnin's aces. He won this big pot after the 5♦4♠ runout, while the button was eliminated on the next hand.
