Monnette Getting Short

Ryan Lashmar

Nível 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

John Monnette opened to 10,000 from under the gun and Maksim Kniter defended from the big blind.

The flop came A♦8♣4♦ and Kniter check-called a 7,000 continuation-bet from Monnette.

Both players checked the K♣ turn leading to the 10♥ river. Kniter checked, Monnette bet 13,000 and Kniter called.

Monnette had second pair with K♠Q♦ but Kniter showed down top pair with A♠J♠ to take the pot.
