Moraes Makes the Most of the Final Minutes
Nível 15
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante
During the final minutes of Day 1, "playboy99999" limped in from the cutoff before "kZhh" raised to 45,000 from the button. Rafael "GM_VALTER" Moraes then made it 170,000 to go from the small blind and the action folded back to "kZhh", who four-bet jammed, covering Moraes' 602,362 stack.
Moraes quickly made the call and a big pot had been brewed during the dying stages of the day.
Rafael "GM_VALTER" Moraes: Q♦Q♣
"kZhh": A♠K♥
The flop of 3♦2♥Q♠ left little hope for "kZhh" and the 3♥ turn secured the pot for the Brazilian PokerStars Ambassador. The meaningless K♣ river completed the board and Moraes' stack shot up to more than one million chips, while "kZhh" still had over 35 big blinds at their disposal.
