Moon Gets the Double
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The action made it all the way to the small blind who limped. Christopher Moon was in the big blind and raised to 12,000. The small blind called.
The 10?4?J? landed on the flop and action checked to Moon who continued for 15,000. Before either player could think there was a check-raise all in and a snap call from Moon and the cards hit their backs.
Christopher Moon: A?J?
Small Blind: Q?9?
Moon was well ahead with top-top but needed to fade the straight. The turn and river were both blanks and Moon would get the pure double at a much needed moment late in Day 1.
