Deuces Rule

Chris Moneymaker made a raise from the cut off and found the button and the small blind calling. The flop came down {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}.

It was checked to Moneymaker who fired 2,300 into the pot. The button folded before the small blind moved all in for 8,700. "This is a bad call, but let's try," said Moneymaker as he called with {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}.

He was indeed behind to the all-in player's {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} until the turn came {2-Spades} and river {4-Hearts} to snatch the lead back for Moneymaker.

The player is eliminated while Moneymaker goes up to 74,000.
