Even Moor...Man

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Chris Moorman opened to 175,000 with the button, and Joe Ebanks defended his big blind. The flop came down {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, and both players checked.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, and Ebanks check-called 250,000 from Moorman.

The river was the {9-Spades}, and Ebanks checked a third time. Moorman fired 600,000, Ebanks folded, and Moorman now has about 7.7 million chips.

England vs. France

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

The Brits and the French just broke out in dueling chants. Our French isn't great so we couldn't understand the latter, but the Brits broke out in their traditional "Eng-a-land, Eng-a-land, Eng-a-land," routine.

The remaining Americans remained silent - perhaps they're waiting to unleash their one song (USA! USA! USA!) in the near future.

Again Ebanks bet, this time 375,000, and Moorman made the call. Ebanks showed {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Moorman quickly mucked. Ebanks is back in the lead.
