Moneymaker Falls After Early Lead

After Moneymaker had chipped up to about 4.5 million the following hand took place.

On a {6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} board, Farha checked to Moneymaker who bet 400,000. In what has been a reoccurring action for Farha, he reraised all in for 3.5 million. Moneymaker seemed pained by this move and thought for a few minutes. The two competitors and friends exchanged words about the hand but it didn't seem to take the knot out of Moneymakers stomach. Eventually, he let go of the hand and slid back down to 3.8 million.
