Monkey Business

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We saw Will "Monkey" Souther stacking chips and he was kind enough to inform us what happened. According to him, action folded around to him on the button and he put in an "uncharacteristic" raise with {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Monkey then told us how the player in the big blind was prone to shove, as in almost every hand.

Not surprisingly, the big blind shoved yet again. Monkey proceeded to give a speech before "taking one for the team" and making the call. The big blind showed the superior {K-}{J-}, but Monkey managed to flop a pair and flush draw. By the river, he had made the flush to send "old shovy" to the rail.
