Moneymaker Cannot Be Stopped
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
A player opened to 8,000 in the hijack which saw Chris Moneymaker call in the big blind.
The flop came out 2♠5♠5♥ and Moneymaker check called a bet of 10,000 from the hijack.
On the A♠ turn, Moneymaker checked a second time which saw his opponent size up to 15,000 and once more, Moneymaker called.
Moneymaker checked the 7♠ river which saw a third shell come from the hijack, this time to the tune of 26,000. Moneymaker thought for a bit before tossing in the chips and he heard the words he wanted to hear.
"Good call," said the hijack "I have jacks, no spade."
Moneymaker tabled A♣9♥ for aces up with a nine kicker. The 2003 WSOP Main Event champion took down the sizable pot as he added to his monstrous chip lead.
