Moorman Finding this Harder than He Thought

Chris Moorman had an excellent start -- we saw him move on up to around 55,000 after betting 2,800 on the river of a {4-Clubs}

board and getting called by a gentleman who merely tapped the table and mucked when Moorman turned over {A-Clubs}

for top pair.

The next hand, though, Moorman raised preflop, and got looked up by Christian Harder behind him and Richard Kellett who had limped in early position. The three of them saw an {8-Diamonds}

flop.

Kellett checked, and Moorman fired out 1,250. Harder called, Kellett passed and they proceeded heads up to the {4-Spades}

turn.

Moorman now checked, and Harder bet 2,925. Moorman raised a stack of red 5,000-denomination chips to cover Harder, Harder called, and they were on their backs.

Moorman: {A-Spades}

for an overpair
Harder: {7-Spades}

for a set

River: {3-Clubs}

which didn't change anything

Moorman dropped back down to 40,000 or so, while Harder doubled to back over his starting stack.

"Oh, well that was a big pot," said tablemate Andy Black. "Thank God, we hadn't had a big pot for, ooh, five seconds."
