Good River for Day Equals Bad River for Moneymaker

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

A hand that started cagily four-way ended up denting Chris Moneymaker's stack. Glenn Day made the first optional action with a limp in the cutoff for 300. Button Jeff Kimber raised to 1,000, picking up both blinds (Filippo Scialo and Moneymaker) and Day for the flop: {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Four checks later, a turn: {j-Spades}. Again, no one exercised their right to put any more chips into the pot.

The river, however, saw action. When the {6-Clubs} came down, Scialo led out for 1,000 and Moneymaker raised to 6,500. Day immediately threw in the call while Scialo passed. Moneymaker called his opponent's hand: "Guess you got a straight. So do I..." but the bad news was that it was the nut version.

Moneymaker: {5-}{7-}
Day: {10-}{q-}

"Good river!" announced Day, raking in the pot.

"Very bad river," countered Moneymaker.
