Happy John Monnette

Yesterday John Monnette had a short and not-so-sweet day after busting in the first level. Monnette, who won a bracelet this summer and is contending for Player of the Year, opted to fire a second bullet here on Day 2 and it's paying dividends thus far.

In a recent hand, Monnette and a player in the small blind got the money in on a {8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} flop with the latter being all in for around 6,500. The small blind held {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and was in dire straits against the {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} of Monnette. The {8-Hearts} turn ended any suspense as Monnette improved to a boat, which left the small blind drawing dead, and he was pushed the pot after the meaningless {K-Spades} was put out on the river. Monnette is now up to 30,000.
