Jones Doubles Through Moore

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante

With roughly 5,000 in the middle on the turn the board read {9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Ryan Jones led for 2,500 before Megan Moore raised to 7,000. Jones announced all-in for his 10,000 and Moore quickly called.

Megan Moore: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Ryan Jones: {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Moore had flopped a set but was going to need the board to pair to beat Jones' flush but the river was not what she was looking for when the {k-Clubs} fell on the river doubling Jones up.

Whittington Turns Moore

Level 4 : 100/200, 200 ante
Blake Whittington
Blake Whittington

After no initial raise, five players saw a {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop. Megan Moore lead out for 700 from the small blind and the big blind player called. Action was on Blake Whittington who raised to 3,100 from under the gun and he was called by Moore.

The {q-Clubs} turn was checked by both players to the {8-Spades} river where Moore fired out 1,300 and called Whittington's 5,000 raise.

Moore tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a pair of jacks but it was no good as Whittington tabled {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} to scoop the pot.

While PokerNews is here offering live updates from the Main Event and High Roller, we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about the full schedule of side events that have been playing out over the past week at the World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Durant.

In Event #2: $400 NLH Double Stack, 278 runners created a $91,740 prize pool that was paid out to the top 42 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Patrick Cantrell (10th - $1,402), Megan Moore (16th - $977), Cole Sudeck (28th - $616), Trevor Hempel (36th - $562), and Allen Kessler (41st - $557).

In the end, Andy Robinson bested Laura Curry in heads-up play to win the title and $21,263 first-place prize. It marked his seventh career gold ring and third at Choctaw Durant.

“I mean, I’ve played with all these people before and I think they are really good, but I trust myself,” Robinson said of the tough final table.

Of his heads-up opponent, he added: “She’s very aggressive. I mean, she’s tough to play against. Most people are much more passive.”

Nathan Russler
Nathan Russler

A late position player opened for 800 and James Baune jammed for 10,200 from the cutoff. Action folded around to Nathan Russler in the big blind who moved all in for 13,500 and was called by the initial raiser.

James Baune: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Nathan Russler: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Baune held the best hand but it was short-lived after the {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop paired Russler and gave the initial raiser a flush draw.

The turn came the {j-Clubs} giving Baune a draw to broadway but the river fell a blank with the {8-Clubs} giving Russler the pot.
