Monfort Is a Grinder, Can Make It Back

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Ronan Monfort
Ronan Monfort

Press room hero Ronan Monfort is another player whose starting stack has been bisected - and this despite him winning a smallish hand as we strolled by his table.

The hand he won consisted of him calling a 1,300 bet on the river of a {6-}{8-}{k-}{j-}{3-} board; his opponent could only boast {9-}{10-} and Monfort's {a-}{4-} was good enough to win the pot.

Concerning the hand he lost, all he would tell us was, "I lost 20k on a bluff. But I am a grinder, I can make it back." For the sake of morale in the media room, we hope he does.
