Moneymaker Goes From a Nine to Pat Seven
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 2,400 ante
The 9♥ that should've gone to Chris Moneymaker was exposed during the deal, and Moneymaker was given a new card.
Brian Rast raised to 4,000 in middle position and Moneymaker three-bet to 11,000 in the hijack. Rast then moved all in for 48,000, and Moneymaker snap-called.
Brian Rast: 9x8x5x4x2x
Chris Moneymaker: 7x6x5x4x2x
Rast patted his 9-8, but he ran right into Moneymaker's 7-6. "No matter what card he got, you were dead," tablemate Shaun Deeb said to Rast.
"Wow, a dealer error that didn't matter," Rast added on his way to the rail.
