Monnette Flops Big, Gets Some Value
Level 13
No-Limit Hold'em
Action folded around to John Monnette in the small blind and he limped. Dan Smith then raised to 36,000 in the big blind, receiving a call from Monnette.
Both players checked through the J♥A♣2♠ flop to the 3♥ turn at which point they each checked once more. The K♦ river completed the board, prompting Monnette to lead out for 15,000. Smith snapped it off but mucked after Monnette tabled AxJx for the two pair to scoop the pot and leave Smith relatively short.
