Moon Over Six Figures

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Chris Moon
Chris Moon

Chris Moon opened to 3,400 from the cutoff and was called by the player on the button. The two went heads up to a flop of {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and Moon announced a continuation-bet of 6,500. His opponent thought for a few moments before letting his hand go.

Moon appears to have either doubled up or won a series of pots over the last level, having increased his stack from around two starting stacks to just shy of four during that timeframe.

Wilkie Doubles Through Casey

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Steve Wilkie
Steve Wilkie

The dealer was heard announcing an all in and a call as Svetlana Martie was in the process of standing up to take a short walk away from the table, praising herself for not making a continuation-bet.

She was not involved in the showdown, however, as Steve Wilkie had doubled from under the gun versus Conor Casey, who was in the small blind. The board read {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

Steve Wilkie: {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Conor Casey: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Wilkie's stack was totaled to be 25,500 and Casey paid him off before the dealer sent the entire pot Wilkie's way.

Wahdan Puts Opponent To Decision for Tournament Life

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nader Wahdan raised to 3,200 from middle position and action folded around to the big blind, who defended. The flop came {8-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Hearts} and the big blind checked.

"How much do you have left?" Wahdan asked.

"Eleven, seven," responded his opponent. Wahdan bet 11,700 and his opponent went into the tank.

"You've gotta make a decision; do I have it or do I not?" said Wahdan. His opponent thought for close to a minute about the answer to that very question. Eventually, he folded.

"Good fold," said Wahdan, checking his cards. He tabled {a-Diamonds} and raked in the pot.
