With about 5,200 chips already in the middle on a flop of {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Chris Moneymaker checked from the cutoff, and the button bet 1,200. Moneymaker check-raised to 3,700, and after a few moments of thought, his opponent called.

The turn brought the {8-Diamonds}, and Moneymaker checked. The button bet 6,000, and Moneymaker didn't take long to fold.
