John Monnette Drops the Mikes

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 1,300 ante

On the first hand back from break, Mike Leah opened under the gun to 12,500. John Monnette three-bet from the small blind, making it 40,000. Mike Watson was in the big blind and he four-bet to 110,000.

Leah looked back at his hand and capped his cards with a single 5,000 chip. He asked for a rough count of Watson's remaining stack and eyed what Monnette had left as well. Then Leah went all in for roughly 450,000. Monnette didn't wait too long to call and Watson followed shortly after.

Monnette and Watson both stood pat in quick succession.

"Pat, pat?" questioned Leah, "I guess I need a backup plan."

Leah tossed one card.

"Eight-six-four," said Monnette as he rolled over {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}.

Watson showed {8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-} and was in second place.

Leah rolled over {5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and needed a seven or an eight to win. However, he hit the {10-Hearts}, giving him a ten. He said later that he broke a nine-perfect.

Monnette was the short stack and tripled up. Watson doubled his remaining stack through Leah and Leah was left with one of the shortest stacks remaining with just over 100,000.
