Moore Off to a Wheely Good Start
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Limits: 2,500-8,500
Shortly after taking his seat, Jack Moore potted the cutoff and was called by James Chen in the small blind. In the big blind, Matthew Wantman made it 35,000 and both opponents called to create a bloated pot.
On the J♥4♦2♥ flop, Chen checked, Wantman jammed, Moore instantly called off his 18,500 stack, and Chen reluctantly folded.
"I have nothing," declared Wantman as the hands were tabled.
Jack Moore: A♦10♠6♦3♣
Matthew Wantman: A♣K♠9♦4♠
Moore instantly improved to a wheel on the 5♦ turn and he made the seven-high straight on the 7♥ river to scoop and double up.
