John Monnette Eliminated in 15th Place ($84,255)
Level 17
Pot-Limit Omaha
John Monnette limped under the gun and got raised to 90,000 by Talal Shakerchi on the button. Monnette called to see a flop with 175,000 behind.
On the A♣3♣8♠ flop, Monnette moved his stack in and got called by Shakerchi.
John Monnette: Q♥10♣8♣6♥
Talal Shakerchi: Q♣J♣10♠9♣
Monnette had the best hand with a pair of eights, but his hand was fought with danger as his clubs were covered by Shakerchi who also had live overcards with his jack and nine.
The 7♣ on the turn ended any further drama, giving Shakerchi his flush, making the 4♦ on the river irrelevant and sending Monnette to the rail as the first post-bubble elimination.
