Woody Pecked

We caught up with the action on the turn in a hand involving three players, one of whom was WSOP-C Southern Indiana winner Woody Moore. The first player, Junior Merafuentes, checked and the next player bet 700 on the board of {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. Moore put in a raise to 3,800 and Merafuentes called. The other player folded.

The river completed the board with the {J-Hearts}. Merafuentes checked and immediately Moore moved all in for 27,575. Merafuentes went into the tank, eventually piping up and saying, "Oh my gosh… sorry guys." A few moments later he added, "Sick, this is so sick."

Another half a minute or so ran by and then Merafuentes made the call. Moore showed the {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for just a pair of threes to go along with the kings on board. Merafuentes tabled the {K-Clubs}{8-Spades} for trip kings and won the pot. He had Moore covered and sent the WSOP-C Southern Indiana champion out the door.

Merafuentes now has 75,000 in chips.
