Moore Coolers Opponent with Pocket Aces

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Megan Moore
Megan Moore

The action folded around to the button who raised to 500, Ryan Jones called in the small blind before Megan Moore three-bet to 1,300 and the button then four-bet to 4,500. Jones quickly mucked saying, "I guess you two just want me out of the pot!" and Moore made the call.

The flop fell {j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Moore checked to the button who continued for 6,000 and Moore moved all-in, which was quickly called and the button was at risk for his tournament life.

Button: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Megan Moore: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Moore was in the lead with her pocket aces against the opponent's pocket kings, and the board was no help to her opponent as it completed with the {3-Clubs} on the turn and the {9-Hearts} on the river.

Cody Coffman Wins Monster Stack Opener for $47K

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the Main Event and High Roller, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Durant

In Event #1: $400 Monster Stack, 765 entrants competed over two starting flights, which resulted in a $252,450 prize pool. Among those to finish in the top 111 and make the money was Eddie Stokes (19th - $1,878), Jacob Seale (33rd - $1,313), and Jack Bendetti (65th - $642), just to name a few.

In the end, 24-year-old Cody Coffman of Tulsa, Oklahoma bested Robert Miller in heads-up play to win the title for $47,458 and his first gold ring. He did so by coming into Day 2 as the overall chip leader.

“Yeah, I mean, I didn’t like being top just because it puts pressure on you… but obviously I prefer it. Because of my cash game background, I like playing deeper. It’s better for me anyway,” said Coffman, a full-time student at Northeastern State studying Cyber Security.

He added: “It feels great. I mean, I usually play cash. Cash games are more steady. You don’t come in and buy in for four hundred and win 47k, so it’s just insane. It’s a great feeling … I mean, I’ve played instead of having a job through college and I love it, it’s fun, but it’s just not something I’d want to do as a job. It’s just a hobby… I just want to work full time and play. I’ll still play a ton.”
