Mon Dieu, Monfort
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Some last-minute misfortune for media favourite Ronan Monfort, as Jonathan Weekes opened for 2,500 in early position and the gent in the hijack called. In the cutoff, Dominik Nitsche made it 8,200 to go - and in the big blind Monfort four-bet to 17,200. Weekes and the hijack folded, but Nitsche calmly announced all in to cover.
Monfort sighed and grinned. After a while somebody (possibly Monfort himself) called the clock, and eventually he folded. Nitsche showed him pocket kings, and Monfort was down to 35,000.
