Moneymaker Making Money

We caught up to see the remnants of a hand where Chris Moneymaker was all in for his tournament life before the flop with {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades} against an opponent's {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}.

Moneymaker struck gold on the {K-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop and held his lead through the {10-Hearts} turn and the {7-Clubs} river.

"You guys never catch me when I get my money in good!" Moneymaker said with a smile to our reporters. Regardless of how the chips were made, Moneymaker is now sitting on a stack of about 85,000

Zhmutski Eliminates Tryba

Action had already reached its climax as we reached the table to see Chris Tryba all in and at risk for his last approximately 20,000. Tryba was holding {Q-Spades}{6-Spades} against Peter Zhmutski's {A-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

The board fell {2-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts} and Tryba was unable to improve his hand. By eliminating Tryba, Zhmutski has increased his stack to about 130,000.
