Chris "888Moorman" Moorman
Chris "888Moorman" Moorman

Chris "888Moorman" Moorman three-bet all-in with {2-Clubs}{2-Spades} and was called by an opponent who held {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

Moorman's opponent was unable to catch up despite nailing a straight on the river on a {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} board, since Moorman held a spade for a flush.
