Brunson Takes Big One From Monnette

Brunson: {x-}{x-} / {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} / {x-}
Monnette: {x-}{x-} / {j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} / {x-}

We caught up on fourth street to see Todd Brunson bet out against John Monnette. Monnette called and proceeded to do the same on fifth and sixth. Both players checked on seventh and Brunson flipped up {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a pair of nines.

"I cant believe I can't f***ing beat a pair of nines," remarked Monnette as he slapped his hand into the muck and the pot was pushed to Brunson.
