Monnette Doubles

In a hand that went almost five minutes into the break, Zorlu Menderes opened the pot to an odd amount, 17,200. Action folded around to John Monnette, who moevd all in for 102,100 total. That folded the action back to Menderes. He tanked for four solid minutes before calling with {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. Monnette was stoked, as he had {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}. There was a bit of a sweat for Monnette on the turn, {3-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {6-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}, but it worked out fine when the river paired tens {10-Clubs} to secure the double-up.
