Shake Your Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker was under the gun and raised to 1,400. One early position player and the big blind tagged along to see a flop of {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Everyone checked to the {8-Hearts} on the turn, at which point the big blind checked and Moneymaker bet 2,600.

The early position player then raised to 6,100, the big blind folded and Moneymaker made the call. The river was the {5-Spades} and Moneymaker check-called his opponent's 5,000 bet. Moneymaker showed {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a straight but was behind the other player's {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} Broadway straight.

Moneymaker is down to 83,000.
