No Motown for Moneymaker

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Robert Lakey, Chris Moneymaker, and James Basham all took a flop of {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Lakey checked, Moneymaker tossed out 3,000, and only Basham called.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, Moneymaker flipped out another 3,000, and Basham called.

The turn was another five - the {5-Clubs} - and Moneymaker tossed out five orange T1,000 chips. Basham hesitantly called, and Moneymaker turned over {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Basham showed {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a flush.

Moneymaker chuckled.

"I thought I had jack-five," he said, still smiling. "Live misclick."

Basham happily raked in the extra few chips provided by Moneymaker, and is up to 121,000.
