Mordue Moves On

Johnny Kincaid opened the pot to 15,000 in middle position, and he found calls from both Sean Moore and James Mordue. The latter was in the big blind and defending a short stack.

The flop came out {6-Spades} {4-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} , and Kincaid continued out with 25,000. Moore wanted to raise, but he only put out 43,000. That's a mini-raise to 50,000 by rule, and Mordue promptly check-called all in for his last 30,000. Kincaid thought it over for a good while before surrendering, and the cards were on their backs with Mordue at risk. And in trouble.

Showdown
Mordue: {K-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}
Moore: {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}

The {7-Diamonds} turn opened up four chop outs for Mordue, but he could not find them. The river was the blank {9-Diamonds} , and we're minus another player.
