River Bet Takes it for Moneymaker
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Matthew Wantman raised to 900 in the cutoff before Chris Moneymaker three-bet to 3,000 on the button. Punal Patel cold-called in the big blind and Wantman quickly got out of the way.
Both Patel and Moneymaker checked to the river on the 
board where Patel checked once again. Moneymaker tossed a bet of 6,000 in the middle, putting Patel to a decision.
After some time passed, Patel grabbed 6,000 in chips and held them for a moment before putting them down, looking at his cards and pushing them into the muck.
