Moon Gets the Double
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The action made it all the way to the small blind who limped. Christopher Moon was in the big blind and raised to 12,000. The small blind called.
The 10♠4♣J♣ landed on the flop and action checked to Moon who continued for 15,000. Before either player could think there was a check-raise all in and a snap call from Moon and the cards hit their backs.
Christopher Moon: A♥J♦
Small Blind: Q♦9♣
Moon was well ahead with top-top but needed to fade the straight. The turn and river were both blanks and Moon would get the pure double at a much needed moment late in Day 1.

Kim Goes for it All
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
There was a early position raise to 8,000 from Chan Kim before a middle position player and Kevin Grabel on the button both called.
The 4♣3♠7♣ flop hit the felt and Kim continued for 16,000. The middle position player called and then action was on Grabel who put in a raise to 57,000.
Kim sat in the tank for a moment before he announced he was all in. Middle position got out of the way and Grabel was in the blender. He eventually put his cards into the muck but wasn't happy about it.
