McEvoy Gets There on Moreno
Andrew Moreno opened to 1,000 preflop and was three-bet by Aaron McEvoy to 2,700, which Moreno called.
On the flop of 9♣9♠3♣, Moreno checked to McEvoy who bet 1,600, but then Moreno check-raised him to 5,300, which called.
The turn came the 5♠ and Moreno led for 8,300, but then it was McEvoy's turn to raise again as he moved all in to cover.
Moreno thought about it for a few moments but ultimately made the call, putting himself at risk.
Andrew Moreno: 10♠10♥
Aaron McEvoy: Q♣J♣
Moreno made the right call as he was ahead with his pocket tens, but the river 5♣ was brutal as it gave McEvoy the flush to take down the substantial pot, eliminating Moreno.
Not to be deterred, Moreno headed straight to the registration desk and is back in the mix with a fresh stack.
