Not So Money for Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker

Humberto Brenes put in a raise and Chris Moneymaker reraised. Alexander Kostritsyn then put in another raise when the action got to him.

Brenes folded, but Moneymaker called all in.

Moneymaker showed J-J and Kostritsyn showed A-A. Moneymaker did not improve and was eliminated by Kostritsyn.

Kostritsyn now sits at around 145,000 chips.

John Juanda
John Juanda moved in the last of his chips with pocket nines and found himself racing against {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. His slight lead evaporated when the flop came A-J-4, and when Juanda couldn't find a nine on the turn or river his night came to a premature end.

Phil Ivey was put all in by his opponent on a flop of 10-10-6 after he led out with a bet. Ivey made the call, showing K-Q. He was behind his opponent's A-J. Ivey failed to improve after the turn was a deuce and the river another blank.

Ivey has been eliminated and will have to wait until another event to capture his next bracelet.
