On July 4th, 2019, John Monnette became the latest poker professional to join the exclusive club of players who have won five or more World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets. Monnette won his fifth bracelet in Event #30: $1,500 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball at the 50th annual WSOP in Las Vegas.

Monnette, who is originally from Los Angeles, California, has been playing poker professionally since 2005. He has been a regular at the WSOP since 2006 and has cashed in over 40 events. This was his first bracelet win since 2014, when he won the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Championship.

In Event #30, Monnette outlasted a field of 441 players to take home the top prize of $132,737. He defeated runner-up Robert Campbell in a heads-up battle that lasted nearly four hours. Monnette’s victory was especially impressive given that he was one of the shorter stacks when the final table began.

Monnette’s fifth bracelet puts him in an elite group of players who have won five or more WSOP bracelets. He joins the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Doyle Brunson, and Johnny Chan in this exclusive club. Monnette is also the first player to win five bracelets in the Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball event.

Monnette’s victory is a testament to his skill and dedication to the game. His impressive performance at the WSOP is sure to inspire other poker players to strive for greatness. With five bracelets under his belt, John Monnette is now one of the most decorated players in the world of poker.
