Moon Catching Cards

Darvin Moon limped into the pot, and the action folded around to the button. Ian Tavelli was there, and he put in a raise to 250,000. When it came back on Moon, he announced a re-raise, making it 600,000 to go. Tavelli quickly called, heads up to the flop.

It showed up {J-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}, and both men checked. The turn was the {6-Hearts}, and the action check-checked once more. On the river, the {4-Spades} finally drew a delayed continuation bet from Moon. He made it 1,000,000 straight, and Tavelli asked the dealer to spread the pot. Satisfied with what he saw, Tavelli kicked it in, and Moon flashed pocket aces for top set.

Moon has had pocket kings and pocket aces within his first five hands at the featured table.
