Moneymaker Changes His Game

Chris Moneymaker has been playing his usual aggressive game today with mixed results. Up to 30,000 relatively early on, down to 20,000 soon after and up to 40,000 not long after that. When we re-joined his table a few minutes ago he was reduced to 11,000.

Barry Curtis is one of the older players in the filed today and he is on Moneymaker’s table. The table have been giving him a lot of respect today believing his bets but also attacking any sign of weakness. Curtis raised under the gun for 500 and when it folded to Moneymaker in late position he three-bet him to 1,200. If he wanted to find out where he was the answer from Curtis was a raise to 2,500. Moneymaker tossed his cards in accidentally exposing the and announcing, “King jack.”
