Moneymaker Doubles Up (Almost)

Chris Moneymaker more or less doubled up in probably the best way possible -- without going to showdown. With the board showing {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, moneymaker's opponent somehow got to the point where he put 12,000 chips in the middle. We're not sure if it was one bet or a series of bets and raises. We do know that when Moneymaker moved all in for about 5,000 more, his opponent snap-folded!

Moneymaker showed his obvious hand -- trip jacks with {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} -- as his opponent sighed loudly and made an unintelligible comment about pocket aces. The result of the hand increased Moneymaker's count to 44,000.
