Moneymaker Dodges Bullets

[user67765]

An interesting hand has seen Chris Moneymaker avoid catastrophe and dodge the bullets of his opponent.

After the action was four-bet preflop, Moneymaker and his opponent checked through to the river on a board of {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

.

Again the action was checked to Moneymaker, who fired 2,500 thinking that his {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

were probably good. His opponent called and tabled a cautiously-played {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

. Moneymaker raised his eyebrows, but was happy to still have 22,200 chips behind.
