Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

George Wolff and Marco Johnson built a pot of around 15,000 as they went heads-up to the A♣J♣4♣ flop. Johnson then bet 5,500 from middle position and Wolff called under the gun.

Both players checked the 10♥ turn and the 7♣ fell on the river. Wolff checked again and Johnson bet 12,500.

Wolff quickly called with Q♣Q♥ for a flush and Johnson mucked.

While this hand was taking place, tablemate Daniel Fuhs was talking to Dan Harrington about his now-legendary poker books. "The Moneymaker thing must've been a boon," Fuhs said.

"It sold over a million copies," Harrington replied.

"What was your book about?" another tablemate joked.

"Zen Buddhism," Harrington added. "Someone said I should have three chapters on how to play aces. I was like, if I had aces I wouldn't need a book."
