No Mo Moneyaker

We found Chris Moneymaker all in preflop with {A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} against an opponent’s {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. The {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop gave Moneymaker bottom pair but his opponent hit top pair. Moneymaker would need an ace or deuce on the turn or river to survive and double up but it came the {Q-Spades} and {6-Spades} and the man who played a large role in the poker boom was eliminated.
