Moreno Doubles Up in a Battle of the Blinds

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Johnnie Moreno
Johnnie Moreno

Johnnie Moreno was left with about five big blinds when it folded around to him in the small blind and he went all-in. The big blind called the 14,000 to put Moreno at risk for his tournament life.

Johnnie Moreno: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Big Blind: {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

Moreno needed to catch one of his live cards because his opponent also had hearts and the board would run out {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs} giving Moreno a nine on the flop to win the pot.

Moreno then said "My strategy is just to have the worst hand against you all the time" joking to the big blind as he scooped the pot.
