Alaei Shortens Monnette
Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
Action folded to the blinds where John Monnette raised in the small and got a call from Daniel Alaei in the big.
Monnette drew two cards while Alaei needed three. After the draw, Monnette bet and got a call from Alaei.
The second draw saw Monnette take one while Alaei needed two cards. Monnette bet again, but now got raised by Alaei.
Monnette thought briefly then made the call and patted his hand. This led Alaei to break his hand and draw one.
Monnette checked and now faced a bet from Alaei, which sent him into the tank for a couple of minutes. Along the way, Monnette apologized for taking the time saying "Sorry, I have a hand I'm never, ever supposed to fold."
Eventually, he indeed made the call to see Alaei show a wheel (7x5x4x3x2x), and Monnette tossed his cards to the muck.
