Espinar Stays Alive

Level 38 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Elven Espinar
Elven Espinar

Chris Moorman opened to 2,000,000 from middle position and Elven Espinar called from the cutoff. The button and blinds got out of the way to send the two players heads-up to the flop.

Moorman led out on the {7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop and Espinar promptly moved all in. Moorman, with the larger stack, snap called to put Espinar at risk.

Elven Espinar: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Chris Moorman: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Moorman was ahead with top pair top kicker but Espinar had an open ended straight draw. He wasted little time hitting that draw on the {10-Hearts} turn, leaving Moorman drawing to an unlikely chop. The {2-Clubs} ensured there would be no chop, handing Espinar a full double up.
