Monsonis Hits a Lifesaving Straight Against Three Opponents
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Four players were involved in a previously three-bet pot, and the small blind led out for 5,100 on a flop 9♠A♥J♠. All three opponents called, including José Manuel Monsonis in the big blind.
The 8♣ turn saw the small blind fire again for 6,200, which was more than Monsonis had behind. The Spaniard called off his remaining chips, and the other two players came along as well.
The 3♣ river checked through among the three remaining players, bringing about a showdown.
José Manuel Monsonis: Q♥10♣ 
Small Blind: A♠9♦
Under the Gun: A♣J♣
Cutoff: J♥9♥
Having made a straight on the turn, Monsonis scooped the pot, which brought him back close to his starting stack and kept him in contention.
