Yakovenko brought it in, Monnette completed, and Yakovenko called. On fourth street, Yakovenko check-called a bet, and the two checked on fifth and sixth.
Yakovenko led out on seventh, Monnette raised, and Yakovenko went into the tank. Finally he called, and Monnette tabled .
"What's that?" Yakovenko asked.
It was ace-high and a seventy-six low, and when Yakovenko tabled , he was awarded half of the pot for his pair of nines.
