Moneymaker Sets a Trap
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
A player from under the gun bet 1,600 and received calls from a player in middle position, Chris Moneymaker in the small blind and a player in the big blind.
The flop came Q♥2♣5♠ and action checked around to the original raiser, who put in a continuation bet of 2,600. The middle position player called, Moneymaker called and the big blind folded.
Action checked through on the 5♣ turn and K♦ river. Moneymaker showed 7♣5♥ for trip fives to take down the pot.
As he scooped the pot Moneymaker told the under-the-gun player that he was hoping for him to bluff.
"I thought about it" the under-the-gun player replied.
"You look like you wanted to" said Moneymaker.
