Moreno Sends Weisman Into the Tank

Josh Noy

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dylan Weisman raised to 80,000 from under the gun, and Andrew Moreno defended his big blind to see the 10♣3♠9♦ flop.

Moreno checked to Weisman, who continued for 65,000. The call was made, and both players declined to bet the 6♠ turn.

Another check from Moreno followed the Q♠ river, and Weisman fired 240,000 into the middle. Moreno then check-raised by moving all in, asking for the rest of Weisman's stack.

Weisman indicated to the table that he would need some time, taking several minutes to reach a decision. Weisman opted to let his hand go, and Moreno added fresh chips to his stack.
