Moneymaker Wins a Monster

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Chris Moneymaker

Swarms of people were surrounding Chris Moneymaker's table in the ballroom here at the Atlantis, so of course we zoomed over to catch what happened. When we arrived {9-}{9-} was laying in front of Moneymaker and he was raking in a humongous pot.

According to a spectator, Moneymaker moved all in after the river on a board which contained a {10-} and a {9-}. Moneymaker's opponent, who already had plenty invested, folded {10-}{9-} face up and Moneymaker showed him the two nines for a set.

It took the 2003 WSOP Main Event Champion over a minute to stack his new chips, and when it was all said in done he had 175,000 in front of him.
