As a fellow World Champion was on the ropes on a nearby table, Chris Moneymaker and his opponent found all of their chips in the middle on a flop of {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

. Moneymaker tabled {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

for an overpair but was in trouble as his opponent held {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

!

However the turn was a miraculous {j-Hearts}

{j-Hearts}

to give Moneymaker a set. The river was a blank with the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

and Moneymaker survived...just! He doubles to 45,000 chips.
