Moreno Riding the Pyne

Erik Hellman opened in late position, Michael Moreno three-bet jammed on his direct left, and Richard Pyne re-shoved from the small blind. Hellman released, and the hands were opened.

Moreno: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Pyne: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

"Ace!" Moreno exclaimed as the dealer rapped the table.

The {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop brought backdoor flush and straight draws for Moreno, but the {j-Diamonds} on the turn crushed those dreams immediately. The {10-Spades} on the river ended his 2012 Main Event, and he was off to the cage to collect his prize money.

Pyne, who is sporting a shirt with his two kids on it, is now nearing 2 million chips.
