John Monnette Gets Quartered

We picked this hand up in progress. On a board of {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, John Monnette called his opponent's turn bet.

Both players checked the {3-Diamonds} on the river and, when the hands were turned up, Monnette tied for the low and lost the high when his pocket aces were no good against his opponent's two pair of kings and 8s.

That loss, brought Monnette's stack down to 26,500. Adding insult to injury, he lost another pot on the next hand, dropping his stack down to 19,000.
