The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Cavazos fired out another bet of 3,000. Kortenber still called and the {j-Spades} completed the board. Cavazos bet another 4,000 and Kortenber couldn't let his hand go as he made the call. Cavazos showed {6-Hearts}{3-Spades} for two pair while Kortenber held {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a single pair.

The turn brought the {a-Clubs} and the action checked around to the {j-Spades} on the river. The big blind checked again and Johnson made a bet of 1,000. Miller raised to 3,500 which got the big blind to fold but Johnson decided to look him up.

Moneymaker Makes His Move

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

After a limp from middle position, Chris Moneymaker made it 800 to go in the hijack. The button called as did the limper and the dealer fanned the flop of {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. The action checked to Moneymaker who continued for 1,100 only to have the button raise to 2,500. The action was back on Moneymaker who re-raised to 7,200 and his opponent called.

The turn brought the {a-Hearts} and Moneymaker flicked in a bet of 10,000. His opponent thought for a minute but decided to lay his hand down and Moneymaker dragged in the pot.
