Moneymaker "Soul Owned" by Vlachas
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Team PokerStars Pro Chris Moneymaker has played his last hand in the PokerStars Festival Bucharest Main Event. It was his Greek left-hand neighbor Andreas Vlachas who was responsible for Moneymaker's exit.
With a big grin on his face, Vlachas told PokerNews how the hand proceeded.
"After the flop came down 
, Moneymaker bet 2,200 in 18,000 and I called with 
. We both checked the 
on the turn.
On the river, the paired the board and Moneymaker went all in for 17,000. I thought for ten seconds and made the call. He [Moneymaker] showed 
for ace-high."
The 2003 World Champion, who tweeted earlier that it was the craziest table he's ever been on, tweeted his bustout hand shortly after.
Just got soul owned. Moved it on river of ks js 8d 5s I'd. Bet 17k with AQ after barreling. Guy calls me with 22.
