Monahan Withstands Brown

Dantonio Brown has been running incredibly well this entire tournament, finishing as the Day 1 chip leader and using his stack to stay toward the top of the chip counts during much of Day 2. Now, Brown has run into Rory Monahan who just cut Brown down to size.

It happend on a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts} with about 31,000 in the pot. Monahan had checked, Brown bet 18,000, and Monahan check-raised to 45,000. Brown eyed his opponent's stack before announcing all in, prompting Monahan to call off for 134,500 total.

Showdown

Brown{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Monahan{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Given how Brown has run, the table seemed to anticipate a seven, but it was not meant to be as the {3-Spades} appeared on the turn followed by the {4-Clubs} on the river. Monahan managed to do the unthinkable and doubled through Brown.
