Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
We noticed Chris Moneymaker adding another pile to his chip leading stack, and after a bit of inquiry we discovered the former World Champion had came out on the right end of brutal cooler.
Apparently, Moneymaker woke up with 
in the hole, and when the flop rained down , his big slick became the biggest boat on the block.
Unfortunately for Valerie Novak, however, the flop was a pretty good fit for her 
as well. Even though the pot was played slowly by both players through fifth street, each trying to trap one another, all of the chips were pushed in when the river blanked off.
Moneymaker's unbeatable full house gave him the win, sending Novak to the rail for a re-entry ticket, and pushing the champ's stack over the 100,000 plateau.
