An UTG player limped (apparently blind) and Team PokerStars Pro Chris Moneymaker made it 600 on the button, Michael Tureniec made it 1,900 from the big blind. The UTG player now looked at his cards and flat-called and Moneymaker came along for the ride.

The flop was {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Tureniec fired out 3,600 which was called by both the other players. An {A-Clubs} on the turn seemed to kill the action as it was checked around but the {7-Spades} river suddenly brought back the aggression. Tureniec checked for a third time and the UTG player bet 5,000, Moneymaker quickly called and Tureniec tanked for about a minute before moving all in for 23,850. UTG folded and Moneymaker sighed, "Nice bet," also mucking his cards.
