Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Chris Moorman over one mirrion.
Chris Moorman over one mirrion.

By far the biggest pot of the tournament just took place between Chris Moorman and Andrew Owens. WIth Owens was on the button, the Moorman four bet and Owens five bet all in. Both players had well above average stacks and Moorman called the preflop all in with 537,000 behind.

Showdown:
Moorman: {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}
Owens: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

Board: {7-Spades} {K-Spades} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {4-Clubs}

Moorman hit his king on the flop, but from the look on his face one would think he lost. The tournament floorman came over to ensure that both stacks were counted accurately and Moorman had Owens covered by a couple of thousand. Moorman has broken the 1,000,000 chip mark and looks to have 1,047,000.
