Monnette on a Tear

John Monnette completed with the {7-Spades} only to have Jeff Lisandro, who was showing the {3-Spades}, put in a raise. Monnette was the only player to make the call, and he proceeded to call another bet on the turn. Fifth street saw Lisandro check-call a bet, and that action was repeated on sixth street. Lisandro checked for a third time on seventh, and then folded to Monnette's bet.

Monnette: (x-x) / {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} / (x)
Lisandro: (x-x) / {3-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades} / (x)

Yuval Bronshtein
Yuval Bronshtein

A short-stacked Yuval Bronshtein was all in on third and the red-hot John Monnette put him at risk.

Bronshtein: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} / {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} / {6-Clubs}
Monnette: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts} / {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} / {4-Clubs}

Bronshtein got it in good, but as we said before Monnette is running hot. That was evidenced by the three eights he hit in a row to send Bronshtein to the rail in 14th place.

Perry Friedman's Kermit shoes... just because
Perry Friedman's Kermit shoes... just because

Perry Friedman completed with the {A-Spades} and received a call from Eugene Katchalov, who was showing the {8-Diamonds}. Friedman then bet the turn and fifth street, which saw Katchalov call the first bet and then raise the other. Friedman called and the proceeded to check-call bets on both sixth and seventh streets.

Katchalov: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} / {8-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Friedman: (x-x) / {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} / (x)

Katchalov's trip kings was enough to rake in the healthy pot as Friedman simply mucked his cards.

From the Penthouse to the Outhouse

After Tim Finne brought it in with the {4-Spades}, Raymond Dehkharghani completed and was met with a raise by Jeff Lisandro. Finne got out of the way, Dehkharghani called and then Lisandro fired out on the turn. Dehkharghani called, which he would do on fifth street as well, before he bet on sixth after Lisandro checked. This time the 2009 WSOP Player of the Year did the calling, though he would ultimately check-fold to a bet on seventh.

Lisandro: (x-x) / {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Spades} / (x)
Dehkharghani: (x-x) / {7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / (x)

Lisandro, who started the day with a big chip lead, was left with just 25,000 after the hand. Fortunately for him, he received a double just a few hands later.

Mark Dickstein brought it in with the {5-Clubs} and watched as Cyndy Violette completed. John Monnette then put in a raise, Dickstein called and Violette three-bet. Both Monnette and Dickstein called before the former double-bet the turn. Dickstein got out of the way while Violette called off.

Violette: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} / {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs} / {2-Clubs}

Violette was behind Monnette's two pair, but she managed to pull ahead on fifth street with jacks and tens. Unfortunately for her, Monnette would catch the improbable seven on seventh to fill up and send her home in 11th place.

Huu Vinh brought it in with the {4-Spades} and Perry Friedman completed with the {A-Diamonds}. Lee Goldman then raised with his {10-Hearts}, which pushed Vinh from the pot. Friedman opted to make the call and then check-called a bet on the turn before check-raising fifth street. Goldman ended up calling off and discovered he was ahead.

Goldman: {J-Hearts}{10-Spades} / {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{Q-Hearts} / (x)
Friedman: {K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} / {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} / {5-Hearts}

Unfortunately for Goldman, his tens wouldn't hold up as Friedman caught a five on seventh street to eliminate him in brutal fashion. Goldman will take home $18,693 for finishing in tenth place.
