Moneymaker Walks Into Nasreddine Trap

Level 15
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Chris Moneymaker raised to 105,000 from under the gun, and Rania Nasreddine made the call in early position. It then folded to Jean-Noel Thorel who three-bet to 300,000 in the hijack with 9?8?. Moneymaker made the call, and Nasreddine four-bet all in for 945,000. Thorel folded, and Moneymaker made the call to put Nasreddine at risk.
Rania Nasreddine: K?K?
Chris Moneymaker: A?Q?
Nasreddine set the trap perfectly, and put herself in a great spot to more than double up. Once the board ran out 5?2?Q?10?9? she did just that, as her pocket kings were still best, taking the pot and getting more than a double up.
