Tygum Doubles; Moneymaker Crippled

David "Doc" Sands opened to 8,000 and the player in the hijack called. Richard Tygum called from the cutoff only to have Chris Moneymaker three-bet to 26,000 from the button. Sands and the hijack folded while Tygum decided to stick around.

A flop of {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{6-Clubs} fell down and Tygum rapped the table. Moneymaker continued for 35,000 and Tygum moved all in. Moneymaker called and the hands were shown to find that Moneymaker was looking for a spade:

Moneymaker: {7-Spades}{5-Spades}
Tygum: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The turn and river were the {5-Clubs} and the {9-Clubs}, which forced Moneymaker to ship over most of his chips. He's currently sitting on about 34,000 while Tygum's stack is thriving at around 290,000.
