Around the Room: Johanssy Joseph Knocks One Out, Chris Moneymaker is Having a Good Time
There is a lot of table talk at former Main Event Chris Moneymaker's table. With just 85 left some of the other tables might have quieted down, but the champ has done the opposite and it seems to be paying off.
He has added about 80,000 to his stack over the last level and made some friends in the process.
Through the jovial mood of the table, people are still playing poker. Cynthia Keller three-bet to 25,000 and Les Meeks shoved all in for 24,000 more. Keller called with jacks, but was behind Meeks' aces.
Keller couldn't catch up and Meeks earned the double.
At a nearby table, Johanssy Joseph flopped an ace in a flip against a player holding pocket tens. Joseph has about 230,000.
Richard Cygum is another big stack emerging late in play tonight. He has just under 300,000.
