Americas Cardroom Pro Chris Moneymaker has provided an exclusive breakdown of the hand that ended his 2026 World Series of Poker Main Event run on the money bubble. The hand appeared during ESPN’s Main Event coverage and attracted attention because of the unusual board, the timing of the decision and the payout circumstances that followed. The 2003 Main Event champion entered Day 4 with 221,000 chips, or approximately 27.6 big blinds. Moneymaker viewed Antonio Vargas as an aggressive player capable of using the bubble to pressure other players. The full breakdown is available on the Americas Cardroom Blog.
