Chris Moneymaker Eliminated in 10th Place ($500,000)
Level 33
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker was the shortest stack in the tournament and shipped all in for 25,900,000 in the hijack. Liv Boeree woke up with a big hand on the button and reshoved all in for 78,000,000. Yinan Zhou asked for a count of both stacks in the small blind but decided to send his 10♠10♣ into the muck.
Chris Moneymaker: 9♠9♥
Liv Boeree: J♠J♥
"We need a nine," Moneymaker shouted to his rail. "Good luck Liv."
The flop fell 8♣6♣2♦ and Boeree's pair of jacks remained in front. The 5♣ on the turn gave Moneymaker a straight draw, but the 4♣ on the river bricked out and he became the tenth-place finisher.
