Level 2 : Limits 300/600, 0 ante

Jason Moore all the way from Memphis called from the cutoff and the button raised. The big blind called, and Moore also called.

The flop came out 9♦J♣4♠ and it checked to the button, who continued with a bet, stating, "all in" as a joke. Both players called.

On the Q♦ turn, the big blind led out, Moore called, and the button folded.

The river brought the J♥ and both players checked.

Moore flipped over Q♠10♣ and the big blind showed Q♣9♥ and the big blind's two pair were no good to Moore's two pair with a better kicker.
