Moreno's Pair of Aces Are Best
Action folded to the player in the hijack seat and he raised to 400. Andrew Moreno was in the cutoff seat and three-bet to 1,025. Play folded back to the original raiser and he called, but only after the big blind accidentally exposed 
face up.
The flop came down 
rainbow with one club. The hijack seat checked and Moreno bet 800. His opponent check-raised to 2,200 and Moreno called.
On the turn, the 
came in and the hijack seat led for 3,200. Moreno called to see the 
complete a backdoor flush draw. Both players checked.
The hijack seat showed the 
for a pair of fives, but that was no good against Moreno's 
for a pair of aces. Moreno won the pot and moved to over 44,000 in chips.
