Pascal Monarque, the chip leader of Day 1C at the last break, is running hot and shows no signs of cooling down. A hand that just played out shows that he knows how to take advantage of a strong hand when one comes his way.
When four players saw the flop of 
, it looked like it could be anyone’s pot. Pascal Monarque led out for 8,000 into his opponents and picked up two callers. The 
on the turn would often slow down the action, but Monarque continued his line with a hefty bet of 20,000. This bet drew a reluctant fold, followed by a quick all-in for roughly 50,000. Monarque’s call was instantaneous and he turned over 
for the top full house. His opponent rolled over 
and rose from his chair, knowing that he was drawing very thin. The 
river didn’t provide the two-outer and Monarque got to stacking his new-found chips.
Play continues in level 11 with 129 players left in the field.
