Moneymaker's Woes

No Double-Up for Moneymaker
No Double-Up for Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker limped in from UTG, as did a middle position player and both blinds. The flop was {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and it was checked around. The turn was the {7-Hearts}. The blinds checked, Moneymaker tossed out one red 500 chip, the MP player called and the blinds folded. The river was the {10-Diamonds}. Moneymaker checked, and as his opponent checked behind and flipped over {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, a clearly frustrated Moneymaker slammed the table with his fist, a "Dammit!" escaping his lips as he turned up {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} for the nut boat.

"That was probably my double-up hand" muttered Moneymaker as he dragged the small pot. He's short-stacked at the moment, sitting on 4,200 in chips.
