Moneymaker Can't

A player in early position opened to 3,600 before the cutoff moved all in for 28,100. Not to be outdone, Chris Moneymaker reshoved his last ~33,000 from the button, and that was enough to fold the first raiser (who said he had an ace) and get Moneymaker heads up with a chance at the knockout.

Showdown
Cutoff: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Moneymaker: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}

The board frowned on the former world champ, coming {3-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Spades} {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. Ace-king is no good, and Moneymaker has been crippled all the way down to just 5,000 lonely chips.
