Moneymaker Slowplays Kings to Maximum Effect

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

A strange hand saw Chris Moneymaker pick up {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and play them as slowly as possible, flatting pre in a three way pot, checking through the {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop and the {10-Spades} turn while Marc Foggin and Paul Simmons checked behind. On the {k-Diamonds} river, Moneymaker checked yet again, as did Foggin. Simmons, however, bet 32,000. Moneymaker announced he was all in - for just 3,000 more. Simmons, shaking his head, folded (he said he had {a-}{k-}) while Moneymaker showed his full house and effectively doubled through.

"If I get beat slow playing then so be it," he said, adding, "You owe me 3,000 later."

"Well played," said Simmons.
