Moorhead Busts Another

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

A short-stacked player moved all in from early position, Chris Moorhead re-shoved on his direct left, and the rest of the players folded.

Moorhead: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The all-in player was in rough shape, the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop didn't change much, and he was drawing dead when the {q-Diamonds} fell on the turn. The {k-Clubs} on the river was but a formality, and the player was eliminated.

Moorhead chipped up to 160,000.

With the board showing {Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Spades}, Sameer Batra made a 22,500 bet and received two callers. He turned over his cards, proclaiming "the nuts", showing {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. One of his opponent shows his {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Batra smiled and said "I should have bet more."

Batra is up to 300,000 in chips after that pot.
