"Oh baby, I came over just in time to sweat a big pot," said Huck Seed to John Monnette. Monnette had first action on the turn of a of {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} {j-Clubs} {5-Hearts} board. We're not sure what he bet, but opponent Mehmet Uysal raised to 20,000. Monnette then moved all in, making it 11,500 more back to Uysal, which is all he had left in his stack. Uysal folded.

"I had the nuts," Monnette told Seed with a shrug. Then he turned to Uysal and added, "Three aces."

Monnette is up to 98,000.
