Jim Petzing Nabs Chris Moneymaker's Bounty

Brandon Temple

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Chris Moneymaker ripped his last 9,000 in from the lojack, and Jim Petzing looked down at his cards in the big blind before saying, "Let's gamble!" and calling.

Moneymaker:
Petzing:

Petzing found a pair and a gutshot on the flop, and the turn gave Petzing two pair, leaving Moneymaker searching for an eight for the win or a king for a chop. The river provided neither, and Petzing secured a $500 bounty for eliminating Moneymaker.

Barrett survived the flop, but his opponent said, "How 'bout a deuce?" after the turn gave the hijack a wheel draw in addition to his ace for outs. The river bricked off, and Barrett's queens held for the double.

Moneymaker Gets Surpised By A River Move

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Brandon Temple

Level 3 : 100/300, 300 ante

2003 WSOP Main Event champ Chris Moneymaker raised to 800 from the cutoff, and was called by Andrew Lok, as well as former Survivor champ Tyson Apostol in the big blind.

Action checked to Moneymaker on a flop, and he bet 1,100. Only Lok called.

Both players checked the turn, and Lok checked the river. Moneymaker announced a bet of 4,000, leaving himself just 3,000 behind, and Lok thought for a moment before jamming all in.
