Moneymakin'

An unknown player opened the pot with a raise to 250, and two players called in the middle before Chris Moneymaker three-bet to 1,100 in the big blind. This time the raiser and the first caller called, while the fourth man ducked out of the way.

The three of them took a flop of {9-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {5-Spades}, and Moneymaker fired out 1,300 more chips. The original raiser was the only caller now, and they went heads up to see the {A-Hearts} on the turn. Moneymaker checked now, and his opponent bet 1,600.

"How did that ace help you?" Moneymaker asked. "Are you just floating?" After another few seconds, he moved all in, and his opponent called all in for 4,600 total, turning up {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. Moneymaker said, "I have one of those two..." and then he rolled over {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} for the unexpected set. The {K-Spades} on the river finished off the hand, and Moneymaker is up to 12,000 after using all of his rebuy lammers already.
