Moorman Eliminated By Hajjar

Chris Moorman has never made it to the money places in a World Poker Tour event and his cashless streak has continued here in Cyprus as he has just been eliminated by Dori Hajjar.

We joined the action on a {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop; and what action it was! Hajjarhad bet 1,775 from early position and Moorman had raised it up to 4,575 from the button. Hajjar was sat pondering his next move, doing so whilst under the watchful gaze of Moorman. After 45 seconds, Hajjar took back his original bet and replaced it with 10 yellow chips worth a total of 10,000.

Moorman sat motionless for a few moments before counting his stack and then raising to 20,075 which left him with around 15,000 or so behind. Hajjar moved all-in and Moorman rechecked his cards and made the call.

Moorman: {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Hajjar: {A-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

The turn propelled Moorman into the lead, the {3-Clubs} completing his flush but any feelings of joy were soon shattered as the river was the {k-Clubs}, improving Hajjar to a better flush, which he celebrated by giving out an overenthusiastic roar and slamming his fist on the table.

Moorman on the other hand just stood and left the table like the pro that he is.
