Moneymaker Keeps Accumulating

Chris Moneymaker is the last of the WSOP Main Event champions remaining in the field, and he's making a spirited climb up the chip counts as we approach the dinner break. He reraised to 3,000 after one opponent had opened the pot for 1,100 and Masaaki Kagawa called. Both players called Moneymaker's raise to create a pot of 9,800 heading into the flop.

The flop was small and uncoordinated, {8-Clubs} {10-Spades} {3-Hearts}. The under-the-gun player bet 4,000, folding Kagawa. Moneymaker called in position to a turn card of {4-Spades}. His opponent fired again on the turn for 6,000, a bet that Moneymaker raised to 12,500. Despite getting roughly 6-to-1 on his money, Moneymaker's opponent folded after tanking for about two minutes.

Moneymaker is up to 62,000 in chips.
