He managed to get all of early chip leader Skylar Henshaw's stack when Henshaw tried and failed to bluff him.

Ioakimides is now in the lead.

Fire Away!

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker's second bullet here in St. Louis is going about as well as the first.

Faced with a 1,650-chip bet on a {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board with about 5,000 in the middle, Moneymaker raised to 3,600. A third player in the hand folded, but after a short time in the tank, the original bettor pushed all in for a little less than 17,000.

Moneymaker folded having his second starting stack now cut in half.

May Day

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Dorianne May
Dorianne May

Just before the break, Kansas City's Dorianne May jumped up to a spot among the leaders after a massive three-way all-in hand.

It all started with a May early-position raise and three others calling. The flop fell {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} and one of May's opponents led for 4,500.

May called before one player folded and another shipped it in for some 3,800 more. The original raiser called and May tried to push all in, but wasn't able to because the all in wasn't a full raise.

Forced to call, she went heads-up on the side to the {7-Spades} turn where both players checked.

Finally, on the {4-Diamonds} river, May's opponent pushed in and she made the easy call with {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, having turned quads.

Her opponent on the side showed {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for the rivered straight and the original all-in player mucked.

Chris Moneymaker had joked earlier that his seat was closest in the room to the registration cage.

He's apparently headed there now after running his dwindling stack and pocket kings into a player holding pocket aces.

Running Hot

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Woo Moore
Woo Moore

Woo Moore is running hot.

He managed to make two full houses early to chip up, then dragged another big pot moments ago to push up among the early leaders.

The hand began with a raise that Woo called going four-handed to a {2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop. One opponent bet 1,100 and Woo was the only caller. He then check-called 2,100 on the {9-Diamonds} turn, but when the {a-Diamonds} river was revealed, he led out for 3,600 and forced a fold.

Woo is now sitting on 75,000 and counting.
