Montenegro in Monte Carlo

Oh, it's Felipe Montenegro that has 60,000.

It helps when you pick up aces against kings in the first level of the Grand Final. Montenegro and his now-extinct opponent engaged in a preflop raising war that put about 15,000 chips in the pot heading to the flop.

The dealer spread out {10-?} {8-?} {5-?}, and the player with pocket kings bet out 10,000. Montenegro shoved, and the rest of the money got in there. Montenegro's aces held, and he is the early pace setter here in Monte Carlo.

Call it 59,500.
