2019 World Series of Poker
Chris Moneymaker's first Main Event cash since winning it in 2003 won't be anywhere close to what he might have been hoping for at the start of the day. Moneymaker was seen shaking hands at his table, with the ESPN camera crew also swarming the table at the same time. Unfortunately for Moneymaker, he fell at the hand of Ron West who was kind enough to relay what had happened:
Moneymaker had raised from the middle position with ![]()
and West called on the button with ![]()
.
The flop came ![]()
![]()
with two clubs, Moneymaker check-shoved for around 250,000 when West had continued with a bet of 37,000 and West called.
No further help came on the board for Moneymaker and the former Champion was sent to the payout desk.
These players earned $20,200 for their Main Event performances.

"That last card was a sweat with the paint?" someone said at the table.
"It was," said Bohlman. "I couldn't properly see it."
Bohlman now sits on well over a million in chips.
Oliver Bithell has had a successful first couple of levels on Day 4, increasing his stack to over the 2 million mark. Since coming back from the latest break, Bithell is showing no signs of slowing down as he just picked up another pot.
Bithell opened to 20,000 in the cutoff and the big blind called. The flop came ![]()
