Blangenwitsch Sets Up Monnette

We caught the action with 25,000 in the middle and a board reading {J-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{A-Spades}{8-Spades}. John Monnette had checked and Martial Blangenwitsch moved all in for just shy of 38,000.

Monnette, who has cashed in three events so far in Cannes (there are only seven), thought for about 40 seconds before making the call for about 2/3 of his stack. Blangenwitsch then turned over {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and a dejected Monnette revealed {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. The {2-Spades} failed to help Monnette and he slipped to 20,300 while Blangenwitsch doubled to 100,000.
