Moneymaker Doubles Up

On a flop of 5-6-7 rainbow with five players in, the player in the big blind min-bets 100. Everyone calls including Chris Moneymaker and the turn is a Q. The big blind bets 1500 into a tiny pot and Moneymaker calls. The river is the {J-Hearts}. The big blind bets 1500 and Moneymaker tanks for five minutes. He finally re-pops for 3000 and the big blind calls. Moneymaker shows 8-9 for the nut straight and the other player has Q-7 for a meager two pair. Moneymaker nearly doubles at the right time and is up to 15,500. And now we're on a break.
