Moneymaker Spikes the River to Bust Rigby
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker opened to 2,400 from under the gun and picked up a couple of callers. Nicholas Rigby three-bet to 15,300 out of the big bling and Moneymaker shoved all in as the big stack. The action folded back to Rigby who quickly called off his stack of 56,600.
Nicholas Rigby: A♥K♠
Chris Moneymaker: J♠J♥
It was a classic coin flip and the flop of A♠6♥5♠ put Rigby in the lead with a pair of aces. The turn was the 8♠ which also gave Rigby the better of the two flush draws. However, it was the J♦ on the river that gave Moneymaker a set of jacks and sent Rigby to the rail.
