Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Chris Moneymaker

James Basham raised to 6,000 in middle position, Chris Moneymaker called in the small blind, and Matthew Kingston defended his big blind. The trio checked on the flop ({3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}) and the turn ({2-Hearts}) and a repeat tre - the {3-Clubs} - completed the board.

Moneymaker checked, Kingston tossed out 11,000, and Basham called. Moneymaker reached into is stack then pushed forward a tower of grey T5,000 chips, making it 100,000 to go, and both players snap-folded.
