Monnette Gets Revenge

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 5

A-5 Triple Draw

Picking up the action on the first draw, John Monnette in the small blind was involved in a hand with Shaun Deeb in the big blind and a player on the button. Monette took two on the first draw while Deeb and the button player chose to take one. Monnette then checked, prompting Deeb to bet. Both the button player and Monnette called to send action to the second draw.

All three players took one card on the second draw. Monnette then checked for a second time and Deeb, in no mood to slow down, tossed out a bet. That got a fold from the button player but Monnette was not going anywhere just yet and made the call.

The last draw saw Monnette take one more card and Deeb stand pat. Monnette then led out, getting a quick call from Deeb, who mucked after Monnette showed down 6x5x3x2xAx. "That's revenge" said Monnette, who told the table that Deeb had just knocked him out of an online tournament, presumably Online Event #9: $1,000 PLO Championship.
