Cavanaugh Bucked

Charles Moore raised to 65,000 from the button, and Casey Cavanaugh came along with him to the flop.

It brought {3-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}, and Cavanaugh led out into the pot with 100,000 of his own chips. Moore wanted to play for more, though, and he made it 300,000 total. Cavanaugh instantly called.

The turn came the {5-Clubs}, and Moore stuck another 400,000 into the middle. Cavanaugh snap-called again.

The last card off the deck was the {4-Diamonds}. When Cavanaugh checked again, Moore reached for chips. He had about 1.2 million left in front of him, and he bet half that — 600,000. There was a little pause from Cavanaugh this time, but only about five or ten seconds before he put the chips into the pot.

"Nuts," Moore announced. He turned up {K-Clubs} {8-Spades}, and his ace-high flush was the winner. Cavanaugh spun out of his chair with some frustration, but there wasn't much he could do from the sound of it.

"I had aces up," he said quietly. "I don't think I can fold two pair there."

Moore has skyrocketed up past 3 million chips now, and he's now the proud owner of well over than half the chips in play.
