World Champ Chris Moneymaker Opens Poker Room in Louisville, Kentucky
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker is giving it another try, opening a poker room in Kentucky, this time in Louisville.
Moneymaker Social Louisville opened Saturday, becoming the second operating brick-and-mortar card room in the state. The other one, a slightly bigger room, is located just down the street, about 15-20 minutes from the University of Louisville campus.
Opening night "went well," poker room manager Christine Russell told PokerNews. As with any new business, there "were some kinks to work out." But as Russell said, players were impressed with the initial experience.

Jattin Takes it Back
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Farid Jattin limped the hijack, followed by Aditya Sadhu in the small blind and Bryce Yockey checked his option in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦4♥3♥, and once Sadhu checked, Yockey tossed 150,000 into the middle, and Jattin put in a raise to 505,000. Sadhu got out of the way, but Yockey stuck around with a call.
The 6♣ fell on the turn and Yockey took the lead, cutting out a bet of 1,000,000. Jattin jammed for 3,110,000, putting Yockey in the tank. After several minutes, he made the call.
Farid Jattin: 10♠9♠7♦6♦
Bryce Yockey: A♦Q♣5♥2♠
Yockey was ahead with the turned straight, but the 8♥ river improved Jattin to a higher straight as Yockey jumped out of his chair in disappointment.
