Chris Moneymaker continued his epic slide right out of the tournament. It almost seemed there was nothing he could do to change his fate. He lost somewhere close to 600,000 chips in about 45 minutes after the dinner break.
During his last stand he shoved three times, and the third time was the curse.
First he was under the gun, shoved and everyone folded.
Second, he was in the big blind and shoved on David Lackey when Lackey limped the small blind. Lackey folded.
The third time, the action folded to him in the small blind. He peeled ![]()
and paused for a second. He shoved all in for 145,000 and Mike Sites snap called. Sites had ![]()
and had Moneymaker dominated.
The board ran out ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
, teasing Moneymaker with the possibility of a flush, but ultimately closing the door and ending his main event run.
