Chris Moneymaker's first Main Event cash since winning it in 2003 won't be anywhere close to what he might have been hoping for at the start of the day. Moneymaker was seen shaking hands at his table, with the ESPN camera crew also swarming the table at the same time.

In the last hand before the break, Fabrizio Gonzalez opened to 22,000 in the cutoff and Henrik Hecklen defended his big blind. The flop came
