A Moneymaker River
Level 22
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
The K?8?7?10? turn was on the felt and Ermo Kosk checked it over to Chris Moneymaker who fired 2,400,000 into the pot of over 4,000,000. Kosk check-raised all in, putting Moneymaker to the test for his 9,700,000. Moneymaker made the call.
Chris Moneymaker: K?9? 
Ermo Kosk: K?10?
Kosk had the lead with two pair but Moneymaker had plenty of outs with an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw. The J? river was one of those outs, giving him a straight to remain seated.
