Bad Beat Horror Tales: David Moreno Edition
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
David Moreno called over PokerNews to recount a bad beat he recently suffered. Because we love bad beat stories.
Moreno in the small blind bet 4,000 and was called by Michael Graffeo in the big blind.
The flop was K♥8♦6♠ and Graffeo bet 6,000. Moreno check-raised to 18,000, which did not deter Graffeo who three-bet to 46,000, which left him with 18,000 behind. Moreno announced all in and Graffeo called to be at risk for 64,000 total.
Michael Graffeo: A♦A♠
David Moreno: K♦K♠
Graffeo slow-played aces but ran into Moreno's set of kings. The 4♥ changed nothing on the turn, but the A♥ on the river sure did. Ouch. With a better set, Graffeo raked in a monster pot.
