John Monnette Eliminated in 15th Place ($84,255)
Level 17
Pot-Limit Omaha
John Monnette limped under the gun and got raised to 90,000 by Talal Shakerchi on the button. Monnette called to see a flop with 175,000 behind.
On the A?3?8? flop, Monnette moved his stack in and got called by Shakerchi.
John Monnette: Q?10?8?6?
Talal Shakerchi: Q?J?10?9?
Monnette had the best hand with a pair of eights, but his hand was fought with danger as his clubs were covered by Shakerchi who also had live overcards with his jack and nine.
The 7? on the turn ended any further drama, giving Shakerchi his flush, making the 4? on the river irrelevant and sending Monnette to the rail as the first post-bubble elimination.
