Moneymaker Pays it Off

[user66118]

With about 6,000 chips in the middle of the table, we walked up to a board reading {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

. Action was on Chris Moneymaker, and he stuck in a bet of 5,000 straight. His opponent, an unknown gentleman, made the minimum raise to 10,000, and Moneymaker called him down.

We wouldn't see Moneymaker's cards as his opponent tabled {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

. The World Champ's holdings went into the muck, and he has slipped back to 12,600 here in the second level.
