{3-Hearts}

against his opponent's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

.

Moneymaker didn't stay behind long as the flop came {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

, with the set showing in the door. The turn and river improved Moneymaker to a full house as they came {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

A few hands later Moneymaker was able to gain more chips as his busted flush draw was still good enough to scoop another pot.

He is now up to around the starting stack of 3,000 after being very short-stacked.
