Dunaway Takes out Moneymaker

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

At the feature table, Pedro Rios raised from the hijack to 5,500. Chris Moneymaker three-bet to 16,000. Braxton Dunaway then four-bet to 56,000. Moneymaker moved all in. Dunaway took a few moments before calling.

Moneymaker had the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}, while Dunaway had the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Moneymaker was busted, but has since re-entered and ran his stack up to a bit over 100,000.

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Anthony Reynolds
Anthony Reynolds

A shout of celebration was heard at one of the tables from Anthony Reynolds as he was standing up celebrating a huge pot and accidentally knocking over a few drinks on the table behind him in his excitement.

The board was splayed out {7-}{6-}{4-}{k-}{6-}. Reynolds had the winning {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} displayed on the table.

The pocket aces of Mark Cortez had been discarded as the losing hand, showing that Reynolds had gone from nearly out the door to chip leader thanks to the king on the turn while Cortez was reduced to crumbs.
