Four-Bet Melts Moneymaker

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Jeff Russell raised to 4,000 from middle position and Chris Moneymaker reraised to 9,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Russell who shoved for approximately 65,000 total. Moneymaker thought for a moment, but eventually folded to the pressure.

Wetzel Takes Three-way All In

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Brandon Wetzel limped from under the gun and Andrew Jeffrey raised to 3,200 from the hijack. The small blind moved all in for 14,300 total and Wetzel went into the tank. After some thought, Wetzel shoved his entire stack of 39,200 into the middle.

Jeffrey contemplated what was essentially his entire stack and seemed to almost muck before pulling his cards back and eventually he made the call.

Wetzel: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Jeffrey: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Opponent: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop bamboozled Jeffrey and neither player would catch up to Wetzel as the board completed with {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}, sending Jeffrey and an opponent to the rail, though after a countdown, Jeffrey had just less than 1,000 remaining.

Moneymaker Picks Off Williams

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Chris Moneymaker and Steven Williams were nice enough to reconstruct a hand for us that vaulted Moneymaker close to the 200k mark. Moneymaker raised preflop and Williams made the call. After the {a-}{9-}{6-} two-club flop, Moneymaker continued for 2,300. Williams called and an off-suit seven came on the turn. Moneymaker check-called a bet of 7,000 and the {2-Clubs} fell on the river.

Moneymaker again check-called, this time for 14,000. Moneymaker tabled {q-}{9-} and his second pair bested the pocket fives of Williams.
