Moreno Bests Thao
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Xiong Thao opened the action with a raise to 800 from under the gun. It folded to Andrew Moreno in the small blind, who called to send them to a flop heads-up.
Moreno checked the 8♣2♣J♠ flop before Thao bet 500. Moreno gave it some thought before he check-raised to 2,000. Thao proceeded with a call.
The 6♥ turn led to a bet of 4,000 from Moreno, which was not enough to scare Thao as he called to see a river.
Both players checked the 3♥ river.
Moreno showed K♠J♣ for a pair of jacks, which was good enough to take down the pot as Thao folded.
