Benger Doubles Through Moorman

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the board reading {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}, Griffin Benger checked and Chris Moorman bet out 600. Benger then check-raised to 1200, and Moorman tanked for about a minute before putting out the chips for a call. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, and Benger immediately moved all in for 3,200. Moorman counted out the chips for a call and made his decision much more quickly than he had when facing Benger's flop raise. He called and turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Benger had {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for top pair, and Moorman would need help. The {7-Clubs} on the river didn't provide it, and Benger doubled up.

Despite losing this hand, Moorman still has 42,000 in chips, while Benger is up to 12,000.
