Avina Halts Monnette's Rise
Level 17
Badugi
John Monnette had risen near the top of the chip counts so far on Day 2 but just had that momentum stopped in a hand against David Avina.
After both players drew two on the first draw, Monnette called a bet from Avina and took two again. Avina took one and bet out again.
Monnette called and both players took one. Monnette led out this time with a bet and Avina called.
"Jack," Monnette said, showing a jack-low Badugi. Avina, though, had 
for a ten-low to win the pot.
