Chris Moneymaker raised to 7,000 and Masoud Etemadiherisi raised to 15,000 on the button. Moneymaker called and the flop came {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Moneymaker moved all in for around 50,000 and Etemadiherisi called.

Masoud Etemadiherisi: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Chris Moneymaker: {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, giving Moneymaker a straight, and the river was the {j-Spades}, giving Moneymaker another straight.

Etemadiherisi was eliminated in the very next hand, with Moneymaker moving up to around 130,000 in chips.

Andrew Earle opened for 7,300 and Kerry Jane Craigie in the next seat raised to 17,000. Action folded back round to Earle who moved all in for 90,100 and Craigie snapped him off.

Earle: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Craigie:{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

A queen on the flop shot Earle into the lead and he kept it to double up and leave Craigie on crumbs still some way from the money bubble.

“Good Call Kid.” Shengjie Tao busts Glenn Miller

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Glenn Miller opened the action and Shengjie Tao called in the big blind.

Tao proceeded to check-call down to the river of a board reading {3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds} where Miller moved all in for 68,500 which was just over pot sized bet.

“You have ace queen?” Tao asked as he puzzled it out before making the call.

Miller turned over {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Tao showed his {a-Spades}{6-Spades}.

“Well done, good call kid,” Miller said as he rose from his seat.

A relieved Tao stacked the chips as a few other players wished him, “Merry Christmas.”
