Monnin Takes a Five-Bet Pot with Aces
Level 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
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♣ 
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.
