Moorman Playing the Game

Adam Lamers

Level 20 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Fabian Gumz opened to 240,000 in the cutoff and Chris Moorman three-bet to 620,000 on the button. Gumz stuck in a four-bet to 1,240,000 and Moorman clicked it back to 1,950,000 which Gumz just called.

The flop came A♦7♠3♥ and Gumz checked to Moorman who continued with a small bet of 400,000. Gumz called and the K♣ rolled off on the turn. Gumz checked again and Moorman counted out another small bet of 550,000. Gumz still called and the 4♣ completed the board.

Both players tapped the table and Gumz flipped over K♦9♦ for a pair of kings while Moorman showed A♣8♣ for a pair of aces.

"You guys are both whales!" Aram Oganyan told them.

"Just playing the game," Moorman replied with a laugh.

Mustapha Kanit: 9♥9♦

Not only did Zerjav have the better pocket pair, but he also had both of the suits covered. The board ran out K♥K♦6♥8♠K♣ and Zerjav doubled up, leaving Kanit on just ten big blinds.

Mustapha Kanit and Blaz Zerjav clashed preflop in a battle of the blinds when Zerjav jammed and was called by Kanit.

Fabian Gumz raised 240,000 from under the gun, which led to a call from Matthew Sabia from the big blind.

Matthew Sabia: A♠6♣ All in
Fabian Gumz: K♦K♣

Level 20 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The action folded to Kristen Foxen in the small blind who shoved all in for her last 800,000 chips. Aram Oganyan quickly called from the big blind and the cards were face up.

Kristen Foxen: J♦8♦ All in
Aram Oganyan: A♥K♠

"I'm sure I can beat that," Foxen laughed. The flop came A♣8♥4♥ to give both players a pair, but Oganyan's was the best of the two. The 5♥ on the turn and the 3♠ on the river changed nothing, eliminating Foxen in 13th place.
