2003 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Chris Moneymaker took his seat late in Level 8 and is off to a good start.

Action folded to Moneymaker in the small blind and he limped in. The player in the big blind raised to 3,500 and Moneymaker called.

The flop was 7d7s7c and Moneymaker check-called 2,600 from his opponent.

Both players proceeded to check the 6s turn and 10h river.

Moneymaker tabled AhJh, his opponent mucked and Moneymaker collected the pot.

Chris Moneymaker – 44,500 (45 bb)
