Moneymaker Ready to Rebuy

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We missed Chris Moneymaker's recent double, but a member of the tournament staff was kind enough to fill us in on the details.

According to him, a {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{x-}{6-Diamonds} board saw Moneymaker and Vicki Russel engage in a raising war that saw the former get all in for right around 18,000.

Moneymaker: {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Russel: {q-}{q-}

Moneymaker hit his flush draw after the dealer burned and turned the {6-Diamonds}. The river blanked, and a distraught Russel sent a good portion of her chips to the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event champ.

"I was going to double or rebuy," Moneymaker admitted.
