Moneymaker Goes Bankrupt

We stopped by Chris Moneymaker's former table to check on his chip count, but the players there informed us that the former Main Event champion had made an unceremonious exit. Apparently Moneymaker's fatal hand occurred against Jeremy Burleson just before the dinner break.

After Burleson min-raised to 400, Moneymaker three-bet to 1,200 from the small blind. Burleson decided to four-bet to 2,800 and the man who birthed the poker boom decided to shove the rest of his 11,000 or so into the middle. Burleson snap-called with his {A-} {K-} and hoped the bracelet winner didn't have the aces or kings he was representing. Fortunately for Burleson, Moneymaker was trying to use his image to pull of a bluff, as he held just {A-} {9-} .
