Now, you might be thinking it's easy to get over being angry when you win your third WSOP bracelet, which John Monnette did by outlasting 92 entries in Event #22: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship. Taking home $256,610 is sure to make someone more agreeable, too.
And while all that may be true, Monnette credits his wife, Diana, for helping him control his anger. In his post-tournament interview on Tuesday night, we witnessed the pride and the emotion of the moment settling in, something we're not used to seeing when talking with Monnette.
