Morariu Scoops a Nice Pot

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There were roughly 18,000 chips in the pot on 3Q78, action checked to Sorin Morariu who was on the button and he fired out a bet of 5,300, Xizhe Yuan called in early position and Demarco Howard called in the hijack.

Morariu put all of his 17,100 chips into the middle when the Q fell on the river, Yuan quickly folded and Howard made the call.

Howard tabled KQ for three of a kind, but could not beat the full house of Morariu as he tabled 77.
