Pocket Rockets Straight to the Moon

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

An under-the-gun player opened for 600 only to have Darvin Moon three-bet to 1,200 from middle position. The rest of the field got out of the way, UTG made the call, and it was heads-up action to the {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop. The UTG player fired out 1,400, Moon called, and the dealer burned and turned the {8-Clubs}.

This time UTG slowed down with a check and Moon bet 2,600. UTG took his time before folding. "I had your hand," Moon said before flashing {A-}{A-}. Despite that win, Moon is down a bit from the last time we checked in on him, though he is still in decent shape with 27K.
