Moneymaker Doubles Opponent

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

An under-the-gun player raised to 6,300 and received calls from Chris Moneymaker and both blinds. Four players went to the {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop and the small blind immediately moved all in for 27,900. The big blind and original raiser both folded back to Moneymaker, who eventually made the call:

Moneymaker: {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Small Blind: {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}

Moneymaker was ahead but needed to dodge a lot of out. The {Q-Diamonds} on the turn was one such out and suddenly Moneymaker needed to catch on the river. Unfortunately for him the {8-Hearts} on the river was no help and the small blind doubled.
