Chris Moneymaker was enjoying a table massage and opened the action with a raise, then called a three-bet to 27,000 by Javier Gomez on the button. On a flop of {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}, Moneymaker check-raised from 22,000 to 58,000 and Gomez stuck around rather quickly.

The {3-Spades} followed on the turn and Moneymaker bet 80,000 for Gomez to call with around 170,000 behind. Both then checked the {9-Spades} on the river when a fourth spade appeared. Moneymaker rolled over the {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a pair of deuces, which Gomez had beat holding the {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

"I was going to fire again if no spade came," the 2003 WSOP Main Event champion mentioned in the table chat.
