Moneymaker Made the Money, but an Early Day 4 Casualty
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker opened from late position to 18,000. Action folded to Daniel Buzgon who three-bet to 68,000. Moneymaker thought for a bit before moving all in for about 260,000. Buzgon called immediately.
Chris Moneymaker: 
Daniel Buzgon: 
Moneymaker ran into the aces and couldn't improve, Buzgon turned a set of aces to seal the deal and Moneymaker was sent to the payout line.
"I don't really have a backup plan", shared Moneymaker about his plans for the day. "If I came in with 100,000, I'd have made a backup plan, but I planned on playing longer. I might go hop into the Hall of Fame Bounty."
