Chris Moneymaker - Eliminated
Chris Moneymaker - Eliminated
Chris Moneymaker opened the betting with a preflop raise to 575. Action passed around to Justin Truesdell, and he opted to reraise the world champion, putting out 1,700 chips. Moneymaker moved all in and Truesdell snap-called, having the pro covered.

Showdown:
Moneymaker: {K-?} {K-?}
Truesdell: {J-?} {J-?}

The flop was a big, dry desert for the amateur, but lightning struck on fourth street. A third jack peeled off, vaulting Truesdell into the lead. The river card failed to help Moneymaker improve, and he has been eliminated.

Chris Moneymaker showed up just a bit late for the start of action today, and it doesn't appear that he ever made it over his starting stack of 20,000. Within just a couple orbits, he was down under 10,000, and now he has been bad beaten out of his remaining stack. With a friendly, "Good luck," Moneymaker made his way away from his table and out towards the exit.
