More Chips for Cha

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Andrew Cha opened to 2,600 from the cutoff, a player on the button called, and Thomas Weber called from the big blind.

Action checked to Cha on the {j-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Spades} flop, and he put out a 4,500 bet. The button called, and Weber tanked for a bit before folding.

Cha checked the {9-Clubs} turn, the button bet 8,000, and Cha called.

The river brought the {j-Clubs}, and Cha led out with an all-in bet for his last 20,000. The button thought it over for a few moments before folding.

Moneymaker Wins One

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A loud cry of triumph erupted from the middle of the Capri Ballroom, and a player jumped up from his seat, both arms in the air, and called for the floor to bring him a $100 bounty payout.

That player was the legend Chris Moneymaker, who scored what appeared to be his first knockout of the day. The details of the hand are unknown, but Moneymaker is up to around 4x starting stack in the aftermath.

Somerville Triples Up

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jason Somerville
Jason Somerville

Run It Up founder Jason Somerville jammed for 12,600 from the hijack, and CSOP founder Matt Stout three-bet shoved for 13,700 on the button. The small blind called, and the big blind folded.

Jason Somerville: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Matt Stout: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

"I love this spot!" Somerville said.

The {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop added a gutshot to Stout and the small blind's outs, and the {a-Hearts} turn brought counterfeit outs. Somerville dodged everything on the {3-Hearts} river, prompting Stout to say, "You would, Jason Somerville!" with a grin as Somerville tripled up.
