Negreanu, Moneymaker Start Over

Chris Moneymaker had opened up a roughly three-to-one chip lead over Daniel Negreanu on the feature table. With the board showing {10-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {6-Spades}, all of the chips went in the middle. Negreanu showed down top pair with {J-?} {8-?}; Moneymaker turned over {A-?} {6-?}. Moneymaker stood up and walked around the table as the river came down. He needed an ace or a six to win the match but got neither; the river fell {k-Diamonds} to double up Kid Poker and level off the match.
