Almost a Fitting Ending

Sam Farha and Chris Moneymaker
Sam Farha and Chris Moneymaker

On the button Moneymaker raised to 140,000 and Farha defended his big blind.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Farha again check-raised Moneymakers 150,000 bet to 400,000. This time, however, Moneymaker didn't back down. He reraised to 750,000 and forced the action back onto Farha. After some thought, Farha announced he was all in. Moneymaker called and the hands were turned up.

Moneymaker flipped over {J-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for top and bottom pair but Farha had the hand he busted with eight years ago, Jack-Ten. This time it was the {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Moneymaker started the hand with about 3.1 million which meant Farha had him covered and was two cards away from extracting revenge with the very hand that cost him the bracelet. All he had to do was avoid two outs. The turn came a harmless {8-Spades} but the river was much more nasty. The {2-Clubs} fell and Moneymaker now controls a commanding chip lead.

Farha is not out of it, sitting with about 2 million in chips, but he has a long climb ahead of him if he still has hopes of getting revenge.
