Moneymaker Busts Opponent, Back Over Starting Stack

Chris Moneymaker is back above starting stack.

When we arrived at the table, the flop had already fallen {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Moneymaker checked, and his opponent bet 2,600. Moneymaker called.

Both players checked after the {q-Clubs} turned, and Moneymaker moved all in as soon as the {6-Hearts} fell on the river. It was effectively an 11,000-chip bet, and his opponent called, tabling {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. Moneymaker turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for the nuts, eliminating his opponent from the tournament.
