"Wow," Yakovenko said, then tried to muck.
Monnette requested to see his hand, which made Yakovenko angry.
"Just this time," Yakovenko told him. "Take my chips."
Monnette obliged, allowing Yakovenko to muck.
The next two hands, Yakovenko was all in, and chopped.
John Monnette was the bring in and Nikolai Yakovenko completed to 20,000. Todd Brunson raised and both of his opponents called.
Yakovenko bet on fourth and both Brunson and Monnette called. Monnette took over the aggression on fifth, pushing out a bet which Yakovenko and Brunson both called. The same happened on sixth and seventh.
Monnette tabled for two pair and a seventy-six. Brunson, however, flipped up for a higher two pair, winning him the high while Monnette took the low. Yakovenko mucked his hand and watched as his opponents chopped up his money.
