The Moneymaker Effect

Chris Moneymaker just took a seat at Theo Tran's table towards the back of the Amazon Room. It wasn't long before they were both involved in a pot together. However, it was a brief dance, with Moneymaker calling Tran's early position preflop raise to 150 along with two other players. When Tran bet 275 into a flop of {8-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Spades} the next player to act made it 875 to go, with everyone else folding.

Tran showed a red jack to the table before releasing his cards.
