Monnette Left Short by Cooler

Level 30
John Monnette
John Monnette

On third street, John Monnette raised a bring-in from Peder Berge and a limp from John Hoang. Both opponents called.

Monette then bet fourth street, only receiving a call from Berge.

On fifth street, Berge check-called another bet, then on sixth he took over the betting lead showing four to a flush and three low cards. Monnette called, then faced a final bet on seventh.

Their boards read,

John Monnette: {x-}{x-}/{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}/{x-}
Peder Berge: {x-}{x-}/{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{a-Spades}{2-Spades}/{x-}
John Hoang: {x-}{x-}/{5-Hearts}{10-Spades} - folded

Monnette begrudgingly made the call to see Berge turn over {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the flush. Monnette stared at his cards before mucking them, saying he started rolled up, but couldn't in the end beat Berge's flush.
