Moneymaker Blows Up

Didn't make money today
Didn't make money today
Various ESPN bods had been lurking around table 1 for some time despite the no sweating rule, and eventually their vulture-like patience was rewarded by a short-stacked Chris Moneymaker getting his last 8,000 or so in preflop against one Joe Villacci.

Moneymaker: {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}
Villacci: {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}

Greg Raymer appeared to sweat (no sweating!) his fellow former world champion, with the words, "Feel the love!" There's an image for you.

Board: {7-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

Thus we lose Moneymaker, and a clearly delighted Villacci was up to 45,000.
