Action folded back around to the middle position player, who quickly called with the covering stack.
Hannes van Wauwe: A♥K♣

Chris Moneymaker: Q♦9♦
Soenke Jahn: A♥7♣
Moneymaker was looking for a diamond as the turn was the J♥ and the river the 4♥. Jahn pounded the table and let out a "yes!" in celebration as the 2003 Main Event champ was forced to walk away as there will not be a deep run for him in this edition of the biggest poker tournament of the year.
