Moneymaker Arrives in Tunica, Stays out of the Crossfire
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Chris Moneymaker opened the action from early position with a raise to 2,000, which was called by John Therrell in middle position. It then folded to the small blind Robert Muriel who three-bet all in for his stack of 18,700. Moneymaker folded, but Therrell made the call to put Muriel at risk.
Robert Muriel: 10♥10♦ 
John Therrell: 9♠9♣
Muriel was ahead with the bigger pocket pair, and when the board ran out A♣2♦5♥2♥10♠ he improved to a full house, tens full of deuces to double up.
