Monroe Has the Cooler

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

In a single-raised preflop pot, action folded to the preflop raiser in middle position, who bet 1,025 on the {9-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Rich Monroe raised to 3,000 from the big blind, knocking out the third player, and the preflop aggressor came back with 7,025. Monroe responded by putting him all in for about 40,000, and the player went into the tank.

"I know you've got about five bullets on you," he said. "Why am I not good enough to lay this down? I think you're full."

After another minute or two, he announced a call, saying "king me" as he showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

His read was on, as Monroe tabled {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and the board finished out with two bricks to send the pot to Monroe.
