Ertl was first to act and led out, betting 3,500. Gutierrez folded and Moon raised to 12,300. Action folded back to Ertl, who appeared to ask if Moon was all in. The dealer appeared to confirm that Moon was not; nonetheless, Ertl called and seemed surprised when Moon moved his hands to display that he still had chips remaining.

The turn came and Ertl led out again for another 6,500. Moon postured for a bit and called. The river came and Ertl fired again, betting 15,000. Moon thought for around a minute and went all in for a total of 16,500. Ertl called the remaining 1,500.

Chris Moon:
Fred Ertl:

Moon's flopped top two pair was counterfeited by the pair of queens that came on board, giving both players aces up with a ten kicker to chop.
