Ain't Got No Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker

Victorino Torres raised to 3,500 from middle position, and he was called by both the hijack and the button. From the big blind, Chris Moneymaker moved all in for his last 3,900. Torres announced a reraise, but he was forced to flat-call the extra 400, and his other two live opponents followed suit.

The flop came {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}, and Torres' 7,000-chip bet was enough to force out the meddlers and get him heads up with a chance to knock out Moneymaker. He tabled, {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs}, and Moneymaker was behind but drawing live with his {5-Spades} {10-Spades}.

The turn {6-Hearts} and river {9-Spades} did nothing to help either player, and Torres' kicker played to eliminate Moneymaker from the field.
