Moneymaker Chips Up Early

Catching the action on a flop of {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts} play checked to 2003 WSOP Champion Chris Moneymaker who fired 1,100. He found himself one caller to the {9-Spades} turn where both players checked.

The river landed the {2-Spades} and again it was checked to Moneymaker who fired 1,400. His opponent made the call and Moneymaker revealed {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top pair which was enough to take it down. Moneymaker has chipped up to 34,000 in the early goings.
