Rast, Monnette Chop It Up
Level 16
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
John Monnette raised from middle position and got three callers: Mike Thorpe (button), Kevin Song (small blind), and Brian Rast (big blind).
The flop came 
, Rast bet, and both Monnette and Song called; Thorpe got out of the way. Song led on the 
turn and was called by both opponents.
On the 
river, Song slowed down with a check allowing Rast to bet. Monnette called, then Song went into the tank for a few minutes before deciding to fold.
"Nine," Rast said as he showed 
for the straight. Monnette turned over 
for the same straight, and they chopped the pot.
