Moneymaker Finds Timely Check Back
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker raised to 2,000 in the cutoff, which only Shyamsundar Challa called in the small blind.
After Challa checked it over, Moneymaker continued with a bet of 2,500 on a 7♣3♠6♥ flop, and Challa called.
Challa checked for a second time on the 4♦ turn, and Moneymaker checked back.
It was the same story on the river, as Moneymaker wisely checked back when the Q♦ completed the board. Challa tabled A♠Q♠, which earned him the pot.
"Oh, that was not a good river", Moneymaker said before letting Challa know that he had mucked a pocket pair.
