Chris Moneymaker attempted to raise preflop, but he didn't put out enough. That meant he was forced to call, and that inspired Jerry Wagner to limp in. It also allowed Xiaowei Lu to see a the 
flop for free from the big blind.
The betting escaped us, but we do know that Jerry Wagner got his chips all in holding 
for a flopped straight and was up against the 
for Lu. Wagner got it in good, but he failed to hold as Lu made his flush.
Meanwhile, Barry Weyandt was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
We're down to 19 players, which means just one more needs to bust before we're down to the final two tables. Despite being short handed at each table, the players have been playing fairly snug thus far in Level 8. That should change sooner rather than later.
Level 8
: 250/500, 50 ante
After some players put in 1,200 preflop to see a flop of 
, Dennis Adams bet 2,200 and Jason Thomas called. The 
turn saw Adams check-call a bet of 2,200, and then he checked for a second time on the river.
A raising war broke out between the two which resulted in Adams getting his stack all in holding for rivered trips. Unfortunately for him, Thomas had turned a full house with to win the robust pot.
"The guy I can't beat has all the chips," Chris Moneymaker said after the hand.
