Luca Pagano Eliminates Chris Moorman
Just before the dinner break Luca Pagano won a monster pot and in the process eliminated Chris Moorman.
Pagano raised to 900 from under-the-gun, both Kitty Kuo and Andrey Shaporin flat called and when it reached Chris Moorman in the big blind he raised it up to 4,200. Both Pagano and Shaporin called.
So there was already around 13,000 in the pot by the time the flop hit the felt, Moorman continued for 4,700 and both players called. On the turn Moorman moved all-in for 13,500, Pagano raised to 25,100 - which was enough to set Shaporin all-in - and the Russian then tanked before folding face-up. Moorman turned over whilst Pagano had two black jacks for a set. The river was the meaning that Shaporin would've made the flush had he stuck around.
Pagano will be glad he didn't as he's now got 110,000 and is one of the chip leaders.
