2003 WSOP Main Event champ Chris Moneymaker, who today was revealed to be one of ten finalists nominated for the Poker Hall of Fame Class of 2019, was just eliminated from the tournament.

We missed the preflop action, but we do know that Moneymaker got his short stack all in against two players.

Moneymaker: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Button: {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Euclid Zurbaran: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Moneymaker got it in good but fell behind on the {7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop. The {9-Spades} turn was no help to Moneymaker, while the {q-Diamonds} river actually gave the player in Euclid Zurbaran the win with a pair of queens.

With that, Moneymaker headed for the exit.
