Hand #289 - Darvin Moon

Darvin Moon has the button. He calls and Joe Cada checks. The flop comes {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {7-Spades} and both players check. The turn is the {5-Diamonds} and Moon fires 3.0 million to take down the pot.

Hand #288 - Darvin Moon Re-takes the Lead

Joe Cada has the button. He makes it 2.5 million, and Moon calls. The flop is {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}, and Moon taps the table. Cada bets 3.5 million, and Moon sits statue-still for a moment or two. After rubbing his beard, he says, "Raise." He pulls out a stack of 8.5 million chips and slides them into the pot. Cada makes the quick call.

The turn comes the {Q-Diamonds}, and Moon checks again. Cada checks it back, and the river brings the {2-Hearts}. This time, Moon leads with 7.250 chips, and Cada instantly calls. The cards are on their backs before the chips are even in the pot, and Moon's {Q-Hearts} {8-Spades} is the winner.

Moon - 101,850,000
Cada - 92,950,000

Welcome back to the chip lead, Mr. Moon.

The flop comes down {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} and both players check. The turn is the {J-Hearts}. Cada fires 2.0 million. Moon makes the call.

The river is the {K-Spades} and Cada counts out 2.5 million and slides it into the middle. Moon makes the call.

Hand #284 - Joe Cada

Both players check the {K-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {K-Spades} flop, and the {K-Clubs} hits the turn. After another check in front of him, Cada's bet of 3.5 million earns him the pot.

Hand #282 - Darvin Moon

Joe Cada has the button. He raises to 2.5 million, and Moon comes along with a call. The flop brings {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} and a check from both players.

The river is the {3-Hearts}, and Moon leads out with the same bet of 7.5 million. Cada bites his lip, double-checks his cards, and sends them back to the dealer with a fold.

The two have drawn very close together:
