Less Money for the Maker

We got to Chris Moneymaker's table to see him involved against a single opponent on a board reading {2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. It had looked like Moneymaker had bet 300 and his opponent had raised to about 1,000. Moneymaker called the raise and we were off to the river.

The river came down {k-Hearts} and Moneymaker bet 1,325 after being checked to. When his opponent called, Moneymaker turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} which was no good against his opponent's {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

Moneymaker is now down to about 4,700
