We're in the Monette

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new chip leader, and it is Mr. John Monette.

Already a big stack, he raised in late position and got a call from the big blind. Monette played the hand aggressively, betting to a check on the {10-Spades} {4-Hearts} {2-Clubs} flop and raising to a bet on the {Q-Diamonds} turn. Both players cagily checked the {10-Clubs} river though, but Monette had nothing to fear. His opponent couldn't beat Monette's pocket {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and he's now up to 30,000.
