Moneymaker Clashing

Chris Moneymaker is Clashing Early on Day 1
Chris Moneymaker is Clashing Early on Day 1

With his tablet device laid neatly near his seat, Chris Moneymaker can be seen calmly playing the game Clash of Clans, a computer game based on building armies and attacking others.

Moneymaker - no stranger to building an army of chips and attacking his opponents - played a pair of small pots recently, skirmishing with his tablemates before ultimately surrendering.

First, Moneymaker took a four-way flop which came down {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, and after checking in early position Moneymaker folded to the standard c-bet made my Bill Mikolay. After seeing the {10-Clubs} flashed by Mikolay for top pair, Moneymaker only nodded and returned his focus to the screen beneath him.

Shortly thereafter Moneymaker saw a flop of {9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, but once again he released his holding after the first bet was made.

Despite these minor retreats, Moneymaker still holds more than double the starting stack, and he sits comfortably above 40,000 as the first break of the day begins.
