Moneymaker Tilting

Chris Moneymaker is talking to himself after two recent hands. There's no other way to put it -- he's on bajungi tilt.

The first hand developed quietly enough. Moneymaker bet 1,700 on a flop of {K-Clubs}

and was check-called by one opponent. Both players checked the {9-Hearts}

turn. When the river fell {6-Hearts}

, Moneymaker's opponent checked again, inducing a bet of 2,500 from Moneymaker. His opponent quickly called. Moneymaker turned over a pair of sevens, {7-Clubs}

. He lost to {A-Spades}

and immediately began mumbling into his beard.

The very next hand, Moneymaker was one of three players to call a preflop raise, and the only player to call after the preflop raiser followed up with a bet of 1,500 on a flop of {8-Hearts}

. Both players checked the {K-Diamonds}

turn. When the {A-Spades}

hit the river, Moneymaker's opponent bet out 3,000.

"Man, do I play good," muttered an obviously frustrated Moneymaker. He repeated that sentence two more times before slamming his cards into the muck. "Good hand," he told his opponent.
