We found Chris Moneymaker all in preflop with {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} against an opponent’s {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts} . The {6-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {J-Diamonds} flop gave Moneymaker bottom pair but his opponent hit top pair. Moneymaker would need an ace or deuce on the turn or river to survive and double up but it came the {Q-Spades} and {6-Spades} and the man who played a large role in the poker boom was eliminated.

Gonzales Builds His Stack

[user198140]

We caught action between Christopher Gonzales and two other players. Gonzales took second place in a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event at the WSOP last year.

A player in the cutoff postion raised to 1,625. The player on the button reraised to 3,625. Gonzales called from the small blind and the original raiser called. The flop ran out {6-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {a-Diamonds} and Gonzales checked. The player on the button bet 4,525 and Gonzales reraised to 10,000. Both of his opponents folded.

Gonzales now sits with around 65,000 in chips.

Dunst Bites the Dust

Dan O'Hair

A player in early position opened for 2,000 and Tony Dunst raised all-in for 6,500 to his immediate left. Action folded back around to the original raiser, who called.

Dunst: {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}
Opponent: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

The {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs} flop gave Dunst a set to put him in the lead, however, a fourth club fell when the {2-Clubs} came on the turn, giving his opponent a flush. The {Q-Diamonds} river failed to improve Dunst to a full-house or quads and he was eliminated.
