Monnette Picks Off Kyablue's Bluff
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 5,000 ante
John Monnette opened with a raise to 51,000. Action folded around to Xavier Kyablue on the button and he made it 150,000 to go. Monnette called.
Both players stood pat and Monnette checked to Kyablue. Kyablue put out a big bet of 200,000 and Monnette called after just a few seconds of thought. Kyablue half laughed and half sighed as he realized he'd been caught. He started to turn up his cards slowly, but before he could Monnette showed 
, allowing Kyablue to muck his bluff. With that pot Monnette took control of the chip lead.
