The small blind snap called, and cards were turned over. Whoever walked away from this hand the victor was going to shoot up the leader board and be primed for a great run here at the Main Event.

Moore had for the flopped king high flush, while his opponent possessed for the ace high flush draw and a meaningless open-ended straight draw.

The on the turn only further put the advantage in Moore's favor. It was the on the river though that secured the win, pushing Moore over 100,000 in chips.
