John Monnette Chipping Up

Level 4 : 50/100, 0 ante

PLO-8

Following a flop of {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} with five players in the pot, action checked to John Monnette in the hijack and he bet 1,200. The player in the cutoff raised all in for 2,350, the player in the small blind check-called, two players folded, and Monnette called.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and the small blind checked to Monnette who shoved for 5,050. After a few moments, the small blind called.

Small Blind: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Monnette: {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Cutoff: {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The river was the {5-Hearts}, giving Monnette the high with a flush and half the low with the all-in player.

Monnette more than doubled up on the hand.
