Moon Gets a Squeeze Through

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

A player opened the action with a raise to 900 and was called by Steve Wilkie, who was on the button. Chris Moon was next to act out of the small blind and three-bet all in for 12,400. The hijack folded.

Wilkie then flashed his cards from the one-seat so that Moon could see them from his seat on Wilkie's direct left before sending them to the dealer to muck.

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Nate Zoller on Day 1a action
Nate Zoller on Day 1a action

Erik Macias opened to 700 from middle position and was called by Nate Zoller on the button and Bob Sweeney, defending his big blind. The three saw a flop of {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Spades} and Sweeney checked to Macias, who made a continuation-bet of 1,000. Zoller called and Sweeney folded.

The turn {j-Diamonds} saw both Macias and Zoller check, bringing the river {a-Hearts} where both players checked again to take the hand to showdown.

Macias reluctantly tabled {10-Spades}{9-Spades}, prompting Zoller to table {10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and take down the pot with two pair, aces and jacks.

"Thanks Daniel, I wanted to win one today," Zoller said to the dealer.

"I appreciate you recognizing me, buddy," responded Daniel, the dealer.

"First one today?" said Macias from across the table with a smile on his face.

"Oh yeah! First scoop today!" said Zoller. He later chopped another pot to build to his stack bringing him back over 20K at present moment.
