Moneymaker Spikes the River to Score Double Knockout
Level 15
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action folded to Viktor Blom in the cutoff, who open-jammed for his stack of 585,000. Then Jack Hardcastle in the small blind three-bet all in for his stack of 855,000, and Chris Moneymaker in the big blind called to put both players at risk.
Viktor Blom: 9♠9♥ 
Jack Hardcastle: A♥Q♣
Chris Moneymaker: 7♦7♣
Blom was ahead with his pocket nines and stayed ahead after the 4♠3♦10♣ flop. The A♠ on the turn put Hardcastle in the lead, until the 7♠ came on the river, giving Moneymaker a set of sevens, to scoop the pot and eliminate both Blom and Hardcastle.
