After a torrid start to the day saw Chris Moneymaker surge above the 100,000-chip plateau early on, the 2003 WSOP Main Event champion experienced a bit of a reversal, as evidenced by the following tweet:

After vowing to tighten up after the dinner break concluded, Moneymaker took down a pot early in Level 7 to keep climbing.

The board read {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Spades} by the turn and Moneymaker had a 2,000 bet in front of him. After a brief tank, his opponent decided to see the river and he flatted to see the {10-Clubs} rain down.

Moneymaker never took his gaze from the Clash of Clans game he was feverishly playing throughout the hand, using one hand to send his virtual minions into battle, while using the other to fire out a 4,100 bet.

The other player quickly surrendered, just as Moneymaker pushed his forces through the gates of his online enemy, and without moving his eyes from the screen, the champ collected another pot without a showdown.
