Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Chris Moneymaker

A player in early position opened the pot with a raise, and Chris Moneymaker three-bet from the big blind. His opponent called, and it was heads up to the flop.

The dealer fanned out {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, and Moneymaker's 30,000-chip continuation bet was quickly called. The {8-Spades} landed on fourth street, and Moneymaker began stacking chips. He eventually settled on 74,500 of them, pushing that bet across the line. His opponent spent several long minutes in the tank; he had about 180,000 chips left. After some time, he reluctantly surrendered.

"You can see one card," Moneymaker said, pushing his cards out into the middle of the table. His opponent plucked the {6-Spades} off the table and sunk in his chair with a bit of a frustrated look across his face. "You were supposed to pick the other one," Moneymaker said with a smirk.

He got reason to smile, up to 255,000 chips now.
