Moneymaker Cracks Kings For a Bustout
Level 9
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Chris Moneymaker raised to 40,000 under the gun and Igor Pihela called in the small blind. Rokas Asipauskas then three-bet to 130,000 in the big blind and Moneymaker four-bet to 440,000. Pihela folded, but Asipauskas snap-called for 350,000.
Rokas Asipauskas: K?K? 
Chris Moneymaker: 9?9?
Asipauskas was ahead with his kings and poised for a double up, but Moneymaker spiked a set on the 9?3?4? flop to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 7?10? and Asipauskas stopped to snap a photo of the board before heading for the exit.
