Out of a Cannon

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Pat Moeller just jumped into the event less than a half hour ago and already has the biggest stack in the room, by a fairly large margin.

His meteoric rise has him on 90,000 and counting as he just picked up another pot. It started with his button raise to 2,600 that was defended by the big blind. Both players checked the flop.

But when the big blind made it 3,500 on the turn, Moeller pushed all in. The big blind folded to hand Moeller another win without showdown.
