He bet to a check from his opponent on the
flop and his opponent called; again, check-bet-call on the 
turn. His opponent bet out on the 
river and this time Monnette raised: a call later and they chopped it up.Monnette:

So all in very shortly afterwards, and he was all in preflop. A lady at the table asked him to sign a card for her as a souvenir, "Before you go." He obliged. Nevertheless, his
