Moneymaker Eliminates Three to Soar into the Chip Lead

Thanks go to Chris Moneymaker for recounting the details of the following hand: There was a limp, followed by a 7,500 raise from Bogdan Juc. Moneymaker flat called and it folded round to Daniel Silverman who three-bet all in for 26,000. Ryan Polkinghorne moved all in over the top for 75,000 in the big blind and when the action came back to Bogdan Juc, he went over the top again for 150,000. Moneymaker now had a decision to make and he called, leaving the four players to flip over their cards.

The board came , making a set for each of the pocket pairs but it was broadway for Moneymaker and he now has almost a third of the chips in play after winning the hand of the day.
