Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Chris Koenen raised to 900 in middle position, Todd Bartlett called on the button, Chris Moneymaker called out of the small blind, and a player defended his big blind.

The dealer spread {j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, both blinds checked, Koenen checked, and Bartlett fired out 2,000. Both blinds folded, Koenen check-raised to 4,700, and Bartlett called.

The turn was a third heart - the {10-Hearts} - and Koenen flipped out a tiny bet of 3,500.

"Good hand," Bartlett said, tossing his cards forward.

Koenen shrugged, picking his two cards off of the table to sweat them like a home-game hero, and Moneymaker urged him to show the bluff. He did, revealing {a-Spades}{5-Spades}.

"I like you," Moneymaker grinned.

Moneymaker is on a bit of a heater himself, and has 85,000 chips.
