Moneymaker Flies to the Top of the Counts
Former World Series of Poker Main Event champion, Chris Moneymaker raised to 1,200 from under the gun and was called by Kenneth Chih-Hung to his immediate left. Wai Kwen Yuen called from the cutoff only to see James Loudon move all-in for 11,425 from the button.
Both blinds folded and Moneymaker called only to see Chih-Hung move all-in. Moneymaker instantly called to put both players at risk of elimination.
Moneymaker: 
Chih-Hung: 
Loudon: 
A board reading 
saw Moneymaker send two opponents to the sidelines and his own chip count to the top of the leaderboard.
Moneymaker informed his table mates that he's having to leave the tournament for 90-minutes once play resumes after the dinner break, this massive pot should help prevent that downtime being too costly.
