Another Hit for Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker and Erik Seidel
Chris Moneymaker and Erik Seidel

We could forgive Chris Moneymaker if he feels frustrated right now. Every move he makes is countered by Erik Seidel. On a flop of {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{8-Spades}, Moneymaker checked his first action to Seidel, who made a standard continuation-bet. Moneymaker then tried a check-raise to 80,000. Seidel pondered for about twenty seconds before three-betting to 350,000, enough to set Moneymaker all in. Moneymaker flicked his cards into the muck.

Our guesstimate has Moneymaker down to about 250,000 in chips, with the remaining 1.35 million in front of Seidel.
