"You Can't Win If You Fold"
In Level 8 (400/800/800), Chris Moneymaker limped under the gun and Tom Gity raised to 4,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Moneymaker and he paused for a few beats.
"You can't win if you fold," he said before putting in a call.
When the flop came down , Moneymaker checked and Gity continued for 7,000. Moneymaker wasted little time in check-raising all in for around 30,000 and Gity hit the tank.
"I guess I'll try some of your luck," Gity said before calling off for 27,200 total.

Chris Moneymaker:
Moneymaker was ahead but Gity went with his two overs. The turn gave Gity a spade flush draw and unfortunately for Moneymaker it came in when the spiked on the river.
"Sorry, buddy," Gity offered.
"I've still got a little life left in me," Moneymaker said with a smile as he counted out the chips. He was left with 3,000 after the hand.
