Level 22
Under the gun, John Monnette opened to 17,000, and Rami Boukai three-bet shoved for 41,000 from the cutoff. Monnette quickly called when it came back around to him, and he had Boukai in a world of trouble.
Showdown
Monnette:
Boukai: 
Boukai needed help in a hurry, and he'd find a most unusual board. It came 
, and the straight on board saves Boukai's tournament life.
Chop it up, boys.

Boukai did not lead on seventh, rather he check-called a bet from Monnette. Monnette opened 
, giving him queens and fives for a high and no low. Boukai mucked, and is now severely short-stacked.
