Show Him the Monnette

John Monnette raised, and Tom Koral made the call for a heads-up flop. It came down {3-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs}. After a check, Monnette bet, Koral raised, Monnette three-bet, and Koral flat-called.

Fourth street was the {5-Clubs}, and fifth was the {10-Clubs}. On both streets, Koral check-called single big bets from Monnette.

Showdown
Monnette: {A-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}
Koral: {A-Hearts} {2-Spades} {4-Hearts} {6-Spades}

The two men chopped up the bottom half with their nut lows, but Monnette's pair of threes was good enough to take the high half, quartering Koral.
