Moneymaker Slowplays Kings to Maximum Effect
Level 13
: 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
A strange hand saw Chris Moneymaker pick up 
and play them as slowly as possible, flatting pre in a three way pot, checking through the 
flop and the 
turn while Marc Foggin and Paul Simmons checked behind. On the 
river, Moneymaker checked yet again, as did Foggin. Simmons, however, bet 32,000. Moneymaker announced he was all in - for just 3,000 more. Simmons, shaking his head, folded (he said he had 
) while Moneymaker showed his full house and effectively doubled through.
"If I get beat slow playing then so be it," he said, adding, "You owe me 3,000 later."
"Well played," said Simmons.
