Moorman Can't Raise

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Chris Moorman

Chris Moorman opened the hijack and the button called. The player in the big blind squeezed all in for 775 and Moorman pushed all in over the top. The lady on the button folded only for the dealer then to notice that a reraise by Moorman wasn't permitted as it wasn't a full raise. The push became a call, and the button took back her cards and called as well.

The two players with an active hand both checked the {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop and Moorman checked again on the {J-Hearts} turn. The button then moved all in and Moorman folded instantly. The big blind at risk showed {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} while the button tabled {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for Broadway. The {6-Hearts} on the river was a blank and the big blind said her goodbyes.

"Why didn't you raise?" the big blind asked, still with a smile on her face.

"I couldn't!" Moorman replied with some remorse.

Moorman, despite losing some chips in the hand, still up a lot for the day.
