Monnette Triples Up

Level 8 : 250/500, 125 ante

It was unclear how the betting escalated but Sampo Ryynanen had John Monnette and another player at the table all in and at risk. Monnette and Ryynanen both drew one while their opponent stood pat.

John Monnette: {9-}{6-}{4-}{3-}
Ryynanen: {5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}
Oppoennt: {j-}{8-}{7-}{4-}{3-}

Monnette needed to beat a jack and fade Ryynanen's draw. Monnette went first turning over a {10-} and scored the triple up when Ryynanen peeled a {k-}.
