Monnette Raises River
Level 4
No-Limit Hold'em
John Monnette opened to 6,500 in the hijack and Dario Sammartino called out of the big blind shortly after Albert Daher joked that Sammartino's range consists exclusively of suited connectors.
"Have you seen him show down hands? It's all suited connectors!" laughed Daher.
Sammartino checked on the flop of 10♦2♠A♠ and Monnette continued for 6,000. Sammartino check-raised to 20,000 and Monnette called.
Sammartino checked on the J♣ turn and Monnette checked back. Sammartino then bet a small 15,000 on the K♠ turn and Monnette raised to 68,000. The Italian went in the tank and removed his yellow-tinted sunglasses before folding.
