Monnette Doubles Through Winston

John Monnette

Action folded around the table to John Monnette in the small blind, who moved all in for a total of 97,000. Roy Winston tanked in the big blind, meticulously counting down his stack before eventually saying, "I call."

Winston: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Monnette: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Monnette took down the pot with two pair (tens and deuces). After the hand, Winston was left with just 80,000 in chips while Monnette improved to 200,000.

"(Jonathan) Little, do you call there?"

"It's near the bottom," Little replied.
