Monnette Over and Out

[user75032]

All of the purple rebuy chips were cashed in at the beginning of the last break. From here on out if you go broke, you're out. John Monnette found that out when he potted the small blind to 450. Jon Friedberg was in the big blind and said, "I'll give you some very generous action," before re-potting. Both players were somewhat short-stacked and wound up all in.

Monnette: {a-Spades} {5-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
Friedberg: {q-Diamonds} {q-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {2-Hearts}

The board came {5-Spades} {6-Clubs} {9-Spades} {7-Clubs} {10-Clubs} , giving Friedberg a club flush for high and an 8-7 fo low. Monnette had two pair for high and no low and quickly departed the tournament floor.
