Moneymaker Chops the (Second) Nuts

We have three world champions in the field today. Chris Moneymaker, the 2003 world champion, is the shortest of the three. He got his stack in on a board of {K-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {5-Spades} and was called, but it wound up being a split pot. Both players made a nine-high straight, Moneymaker with {8-Diamonds} {9-Spades} and his opponent with {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs}.
