Moorman Takes Huge Lead

Chris Moorman

A player under the gun opened to 300,000 and was called by the cutoff. Alexander Burton moved all in for 1,400,000 from the button only to see Chris Moorman re-jam out of the small blind. Both the under the gun and cutoff players folded and Burton was at risk.

Alexander Burton:   
Chris Moorman:   

It was a classic race until the     flop put Moorman into the lead. Burton did have a flush draw but unfortunately for him the   turn and   river failed to improve his hand, sending him to the rail just shy of the final three tables. Moorman, meanwhile, has opened up a large gap at the top of the chip counts.

"You're a wild man!" said Perry. "That's a sick bluff."

This time Burton had his opponent dominated and after a clean runout of       he went from being one of the shortest stacks in the room to tournament average in the span of a couple hands.

"Can we go for the hatrick?" Burton wondered aloud. It was not to be, however, as he folded his next hand preflop.
