Huu Hurt

Huu Vinh

Tim Finne completed with the {J-Hearts}, and Huu Vinh called with the {9-Hearts}.

Finne: (x-x) / {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {6-Spades} {10-Spades} / {x)
Vinh: (x-x) / {9-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {K-Spades} / (x)

Finne bet all the way through sixth, then check-checked on seventh. Finne showed {10-Hearts} {8-Spades} {5-Diamonds}, and his pair of tens won the pot.

Vinh did manage to get a few back on the next hand when he drew {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} on the first three betting streets. When Finne folded, he revealed the fourth king, the {K-Diamonds}, from his pocket.

Nine-High Straight for Monnette

John Monnette brought it in with the {6-Diamonds} and then called Huu Vinh's completion. The latter proceeded to bet the turn and fifth street, both of which Monnette called. Vinh then check-called a bet on sixth before both players checked seventh.

Vinh: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} / {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades} / (x)
Monnette: {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} / {6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Monnette's nine-high straight was the winner and he vaulted back in the chip lead.

Perry Friedman Eliminated in 4th Place ($53,470)

Perry Friedman - 4th place
Perry Friedman - 4th place

After growing short stacked yet again, Perry Friedman completed only to have John Monnette put in a raise. Friedman committed himself with a three-bet and Monnette made the call.

Monnette: {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} / {9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} / {Q-Clubs}
Friedman: {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades} / {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / {10-Hearts}

Neither player held a pair when the money went in, and it'd take until sixth street before one was made. Unfortunately for Friedman, it was Monnette who made sevens to take the lead. Seventh street provided no surprises and Friedman took his leave in fourth place to a nice round of applause.

Monnette Dents Finne

John Monnette
John Monnette

John Monnette was the completer with the {Q-Diamonds}, and Tim Finne called with the {J-Diamonds}

Monnette: (x-x) / {Q-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {K-Clubs} / (x)
Finne: (x-x) / {J-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {A-Spades} / (x)

Monnette bet fourth and fifth streets and was called both times. They checked through sixth street, and Monnette made another bet on seventh. Finne couldn't call, tucking his cards under and slipping back under 700,000.

Jacks Do It for Friedman

Perry Friedman all in
Perry Friedman all in

Huu Vinh completed with the {Q-Diamonds} and Perry Friedman raised all in for 37,000. John Monnette isolated with a three-bet, which prompted Vinh to get out of the way.

Monnette: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} / {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} / {3-Diamonds}
Friedman: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} / {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} / {10-Hearts}

Friedman's jacks held up to give him the double, though he is still the short stack by a considerable margin.

Vinh: (x-x) / {9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Spades}

Finne to Win

Tim Finne brought it in with the {7-Diamonds}, and Huu Vinh completed with the {8-Hearts}. Perry Friedman called with the {8-Diamonds}, Finne called too, and it was three ways to fourth.

Finne: (x-x) / {7-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} / (x)
Vinh: (x-x) / {8-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} muck
Friedman: (x-x) / {8-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {3-Spades} {9-Hearts} / (x)

Friedman bet his lead on fourth street, and both opponents called. Vinh picked up the lead on fifth but check-folded. That's because Finne raised Friedman's bet this time, then barreled bets in on sixth and seventh streets, too. Friedman called the sixth street bet, but he could not pay off the last. He folded on seventh, and he's left with just 55,000 chips.
