Moneymaker Runs Into a Straight

After an open to 1,100 by a player in middle position called by the cutoff, Chris Moneymaker in the small blind squeezed to 6,200. The middle-position player called, as well as the cutoff.

On a flop of 2♦9♠7♦, Moneymaker continued for 5,200. He was only called by the middle-position player, who bet 8,000 on the 5♣ after Moneymaker checked.

The 2003 WSOP Main Event champion eventually called, then led out for 50,000 on the A♣. His opponent called for his last 21,500 and flipped over 8♠6♠ for a straight.

Moneymaker mucked his cards, but players at the table asked the dealer to reveal them as it was an all-in and call situation. So the dealer took two cards from the muck and turned over Q♦J♦.

Moneymaker seemed a bit stunned by this hand for a few seconds while counting his stack before moving on to the next hand.
