Moorman Flops The Nuts
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A player in middle position opened to 2,100 and Minh Nguyen called next to act. The cutoff called as well and Chris Moorman put in a three-bet to 8,700 on the button. All three players came along and the dealer fanned out a flop of 7?5?4?.
The initial raiser checked to Nguyen who tossed out a small bet of 3,500 and only the cutoff and Moorman called. On the 5? turn the action checked through to the 4? river.
Nguyen and the cutoff checked to Moorman who took some time before betting 40,000, leaving only 500 behind. Nguyen quickly folded and the cutoff snap-called for their last 35,000.
Moorman rolled over 8?6? for the flopped nut-straight and his opponent tabled 8?8? for the over pair as they made their way to the exit.
