The turn card saw another bet of 1,700 from Moneymaker and that got a call too. The river was the and a final bet of 2,800 from Moneymaker saw a brief pause before he was called and turned over . He was just out pipped by his opponent’s .

“I felt like you wanted a call.” His opponent said and Moneymaker said he was 50/50, explaining that he would have likely had to face a bet anyway if he checked.

On the next hand Moneymaker opened for 600 under the gun, picked up two callers only to see a player in late position raise to 2,000. Moneymaker made it 5,000 to go with 16,000 behind. The raiser gave him a look before folding and was told, “Best fold you’ve made all day.”

“I’ve made some good folds today.” came the reply, but Moneymaker teasingly told him, “No you haven’t.”
