Moore Takes Lead

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ken Moore
Ken Moore

Chris Moneymaker raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and got calls from Ken Moore (button) and Rob Brown (big blind). Brown came out betting with 25,000 on the {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, and both opponents continued. The {10-Diamonds} came on the turn, and Brown checked. Moneymaker bet 60,000, and nobody wanted to dump their hand still. Action checked to Moore on the {9-Spades}, and he announced all in. Brown and Moneymaker folded in relatively short order, with Moneymaker lamenting he could have raised the flop, saying he thought he had the best of it on the turn as well.

Michael Nolan Eliminated in 8th Place ($3,943)

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Michael Nolan - 8th Place
Michael Nolan - 8th Place

Michael Nolan pushed in his last 50,000 or so from the button, and Anatoly Podolsky called.

Nolan: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Podolsky: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Nolan began walking away, grabbing his coat.

"Oh, he's really selling it," Chris Moneymaker said.

Sure enough, a {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop gave him a flush draw. However, two bricks fell on the last two streets, and a short stack finally failed to survive an all in.

Podolsky Doubles Through Moneymaker

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Anatoly Podolsky
Anatoly Podolsky

Two players checked to Chris Moneymaker, who bet 20,000 from the button on an {8-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop. Only Anatoly Podolsky, who was under the gun, called. Podolsky checked the {7-Hearts} turn, and Moneymaker asked how much he had. He said it was 56,500, and Moneymaker bet 25,000.

"I'm all in," Podolsky said moments later. Moneymaker called, though he didn't look pleased.

Podolsky: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Moneymaker: {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Podolsky faded the straight draw as the {2-Clubs} hit the river.

Bitzer Doubles Through Nolan

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Kent Bitzer raised to 16,000 in the cutoff, and Michael Nolan defended his blind. Nolan called Bitzer's shove of 63,500 on the {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop.

Nolan: {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Bitzer: {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Both had flopped draws, but king-high was the best hand for the moment. The {q-Spades} and {4-Spades} were bricks, and king-high took it for Bitzer.
