Moran Shoves Into Top Set on the First Hand

Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

James Moran raised to 60,000 under the gun before Andrew Hanna three-bet to 175,000 in the hijack. Moran called and they saw a flop of 8?5?J?.
Moran led out for 200,000 and Hanna called. The turn was the K? and Moran moved all in for 900,000. Hanna snap-called and turned over K?K? for top set.
"I'm drawing dead," Moran said, showing A?J?. The inconsequential river was the Q? and Moran stopped to snap a photo of the board.
"First hand," he added as he waited for his payout slip.
