Green Triples Up; Monnette & Timoshenko Exchange Words
Tyler Brown made it 11,000 under the gun with Richard Green calling from the next seat, and Yevgeniy Timoshenko calling from the hijack. Richard Green squeezed to roughly 60,000 from the small blind, which got Brown to fold, but Monnette back-jammed for 84,000. Timoshenko called with a stack that covered both players, after which Green committed his remaining 17,000.
Richard Green: K♣K♥Q♥8♠4♥
John Monnette: A♦J♥10♦3♣2♠
Yevgeniy Timoshenko: A♣A♥9♥8♦7♣
Timoshenko had the chance to send two players to the rail. However, the board came Q♠9♦Q♣3♥7♥ to give Green the winner with trip queens. Green tripled up, and Timoshenko won the small side pot, eliminating Monnette.
As Monnette was leaving the table, he accused Timoshenko of slow rolling with his aces. After a little back and forth between the two, Timoshenko got the final words of "Go f#$k yourself" in as Monnette exited the tournament area.
