Monnette . . . You Don't Say

On a flop of {8-Spades}{A-Spades}{K-Hearts}, the small blind checked as did John Monnette in the big. The under-the-gun player then bet 350, the small blind check-raised to 1,650, and both Monnette and UTG made the call. All three players decided to check the {7-Clubs} turn, leading to the {3-Clubs} river.

At this point the small blind fired out 5,000, Monnette called , and the UTG got out of the way.

Small Blind: {2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Monnette: {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

The small blind locked up the high while Monnette's low earned him half the pot. Monnette is sitting with a stack of 20,000.
