Chris Making No Money Today

Chris Moneymaker from Day 2
Chris Moneymaker from Day 2
From early position, Dragoslav Timarac opened the pot with a raise to 4,600. Action passed around to Chris Moneymaker across the table, and he moved all in for 34,500 total. Timarac called, and the two men showed down their hands of choice:

Timarac: {9-Spades} {10-Spades}
Moneymaker: {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs}

With the betting action complete, and Moneymaker at risk of elimination, the dealer ran out the board: {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. Timarac hit his card on the flop, and Moneymaker failed to find any of his out cards. A deep run this year would have silenced a lot of his critics, but the loss of that hand spells the end of the Main Event for Chris Moneymaker.
