Level 11
Cary Katz
Cary Katz

Cary Katz: {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}/{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}/{3-Clubs}
John Monnette: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}/{k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}/{3-Hearts}
Denis Strebkov: {8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}/{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}/{x-}/Mucked

Both Cary Katz and John Monnette were all-in on fifth street.

It was Katz with the five-card straight that was in the lead versus the rolled-up kings held by Monnette and the draws held by Strebkov.

Sixth street changed everything as Monnette filled up with full of queens, which locked up the high hand, while Katz secured the low half of the pot.

The meaningless seventh street was pitched face-down and Katz survived his all-in on his very first hand of play with a near double-up.
