It's the Thought That Counts

Chris Moneymaker just had an opponent all in before the flop, with Moneymaker holding {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} to his opponent's {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

The flop came {8-Spades}{K-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, putting Moneymaker behind. The turn was the {K-Diamonds}, giving Moneymaker's opponent a full house.

"Ace!" yelled a Moneymaker fan from the rail as the river was dealt. The table chuckled in response. "Ace doesn't do much good," said Moneymaker with a weary grin at the too-little-too-late show of support as the meaningless {J-Spades} fell.

Moneymaker slips to 57,500.
