![Timothy Little's Stack is Anything Bet](https://s.pnimg.net/nkvXZf-Sni_VfanR6pYXM62Xi6ZH6uwsvRF5xF0fZqA/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC8x/ODQ5LzM4L3hkNjVh/NzMzYzQyLmpwZw.webp)
After two players limped in before him, Timothy Little opted to raise the action holding the button. Next to act, Chris Moneymaker decided to three-bet and put the pressure back on Little and his suspected squeeze play.
Little decided to flat with and the flop came down
to give him an open-ended straight draw. Moneymaker c-bet the flop and Little flatted once more to take a trip down fourth street.
Turn:
With that, Little's gin card had arrived as he made the nut straight. Moneymaker moved a pile of chips into the middle to effectively force Little all in if he called, and call he did with the stone cold nuts.
Moneymaker tabled , but despite holding the best preflop hand in Hold'em, he was drawing dead heading to the river.
With the loss, Moneymaker's previously chip-leading stack dropped back down to the average mark, while Little chipped up to put himself in position for another deep run here at the HPO Charles Town stop.
