Moneymaker Doubles Lombardo Up
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker raised to 20,000 from mid-position and John Lombardo three-bet shoved for 249,000 in the hijack. Action folded to the big blind who asked for a count. Lombardo confirmed how much he had behind and the big blind folded while Moneymaker made the call.
John Lombardo: 
Chris Moneymaker: 
The board ran out 
for Lombardo to hold with the higher pocket pair to double up through the 2003 Main Event Champ.
