Moore Busts Two, Vaults To The Top

It's been quite the level for Alex Moore, beginning the level with a tad more than 500,000. He is up to about 3,500,000 now after busting two players in three hands.

It started with Brendan Taylor. With the board reading {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and a pot of roughly 500,000 in the middle, Moore bet 365,000. Taylor re-raised all in for about 1,000,000 with what was later shown to be {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Moore had that destroyed, calling with {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a full house to score elimination #1.

Shortly thereafter, on an {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} board, a player we were unable to identify got his stack of about 230,000 into the middle with {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Moore nailed this flop as well and tabled {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. He held up through the {10-Diamonds} turn and {4-Spades} river to score another knockout and take the chip lead...for now.
