Chung Can't Finish Off Monnette
Level 35
John Monnette has been all in with Christopher Chung a card away from winning the tournament a couple of times since leaving Monnette with less than one big bet, but Monnette has survived.
First after the final draw, Monnette fanned 9x8x6x5x2x versus Chung's 7x6x3x2x, but Chung drew a Qx to send a small double-up to Monnette.
Then, after Monnette was all-in on the final draw with 1,250,000 committed through the four betting rounds, he again stood pat while Chung drew one.
Monnette showed Jx5x4x3x2x against Chung's 8x7x4x3x, but Chung this time drew a Kx to double up the four-time bracelet winner again, as he continues to battle to win his first WSOP bracelet.
