Monnette Shows Hellmuth a Nine
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 18,000 ante
Shaun Deeb raised to 24,000 in the hijack and was called by Phil Hellmuth in the cutoff, as well as John Monnette and Naoya Kihara in the blinds.
Monnette, Deeb, and Hellmuth drew one, while Kihara took two. Action checked to Hellmuth, who bet 30,000, and only Monnette called.
"10-8," Hellmuth announced, but Monnette turned over a 9-8 to win the pot.
