Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante
Charles Gang
Charles Gang

Laura Moore raised from the hijack. Charles Gang three-bet to 1,050,000 to her immediate left in the cutoff, and Moore waited for a moment before four-betting to 2,725,000, Gang then five-bet all in and Moore immediately called.

It was a classic cooler situation as Moore had the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} while Gang had {k-}{k-}.

The board would not bring any sweat as it ran out blankly {5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Gang was eliminated from the tournament.

Moore Calls After Long Talkative Tank to Shatter Smith's Stack

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante
Laura Moore

Laura Moore and Richie Smith saw a flop of {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Moore bet and Smith quickly called.

The turn was the {j-Diamonds}. Moore made a bet of 900,000 and Smith moved all in. Moore went deep into the tank to consider the bet. Back and forth chatter ensued as both players talked about their holdings, nearly revealing what they had. A count was asked for and Smith's stack was counted multiple times by the dealer and other players to confirm that he had Moore covered slightly.

After a few minutes, Moore said the clock could be called on her if anybody wanted. Smith instantly called clock and the floor came over and began the countdown. Moore was surprised at the shortness of the clock's 25 seconds and questioned it but after about 10 seconds she called.

Smith showed the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and Moore showed the {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. The river was the {3-Hearts} and Moore took down the huge pot. Smith expressed shock at how long it took Moore to call as most of his stack was stripped away from him.
