Moneymaker Earns a Double

Farha was continuing to grind down Moneymaker, doing his best to never to give him a good chance to win a significant amount of chips.

On Moneymakers double up hand, Farha limped his small blind to 100,000 and Moneymaker made it 400,000 to go.

Farha called and the two saw a {K-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop. Farha checked to Moneymaker who fired out 400,000 before Farha quickly moved all in. Without much thought Moneymaker called with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and was ahead of the {9-Spades}{4-Spades} flush draw of Farha. It was tough to tell exactly what Moneymaker said to Farha when he called but it appears Moneymaker believed his Ace high was currently ahead.

With Farha actually being a slight favorite to win the hand, the {j-Clubs} turn made Moneymaker a big favorite all of the sudden, taking the lead as well as seven of Sammy's outs. Farha bricked the {8-Clubs} river again and Moneymaking takes a slight chip lead.
