How Neighborly of Him

[user66118]

John Monnette raised to open the pot from the button, and Ben Boyd three-bet him from the small blind. Monnette put in the extra bet and it was heads up from here on out.

The flop came {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

. Boyd led out, Monnette raised, and Boyd called.

The turn card came the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

, and both players checked. On the river, the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

drew a bet from Boyd, and Monnette thought it over before splashing in the calling chips.

Boyd opened up his hand, revealing {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

for threes full of aces. It was the winner; Monnette mucked his hand and sent a good chunk of his stack to his next-door neighbor.
