Andre Barroco Pereira Pocas Moreira
Andre Barroco Pereira Pocas Moreira

With a new crew on the Lagoon feature table, Andre Moreira opened for 120,000 from the hijack, Ryan Depaulo flatted from the cutoff, then James Caputo three-bet for 300,000 from the button.

After both blinds folded, Moreira moved in for 890,000 total. Depaulo glanced to his right and left as the three players were starting to experience déjà vu from the controversial hand they had during the previous level. He opted to send his 88 into the muck. Caputo made it clear he was calling, having Moreira covered.

Andre Moreira: JJAll in
James Caputo: KK

For the second time in two levels, Moreira had run pocket jacks into pocket kings and this time he was covered by his opponent. The board ran out A664Q and brought no help for Moreira, who reported to the rail, while Caputo chipped up to 4.5 million.
