Mooney’s Big Slick Wins the Race
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Thomas Quaade opened the action to 2,200 from under the gun, and Hady El Asmar three-bet to 6,000 from the button. The action folded to John Mooney in the big blind, who moved all in, covering both opponents. Quaade folded, and Asmar called.
Hady El Asmar: J♦J♠ 
John Mooney: A♠K♣
Asmar needed to dodge high cards on the board, but the flop came 5♦3♣K♦, and now he needed one of the remaining jacks to win the hand. The 9♣ on the turn and 10♦ on the river didn't help, and Asmar was eliminated from the tournament.
