Brent Hanks Eliminated in 4th Place ($78,774)

[user66118]

Level 27

Stud 8/b

Brent Hanks brought it in with the {8-Clubs} up, and John Monnette completed with the {K-Diamonds} . Hanks made the call, and their hands ran out thusly:

Hanks: (x-x) / {8-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {9-Spades} {6-Clubs} / (x)
Monnette: (x-x) / {k-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {4-Spades} / (x)

Both players checked fourth street, and Monnette bet fifth. He bet again on sixth, and Hanks check-called one last bullet on seventh. It was the one that put him all in for about 65,000, and he'd soon be all the way out. Monnette turned up {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {2-Spades} in the hole, and he finished with kings and a seven-low to scoop the pot. Hanks tabled his {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} , on his way out the door to collect fourth-place money. It's worth $78,774 -- not bad for a couple days' work.
