The Biggest Pot of HU So Far: Fox Increases His Lead

[user169505]

Livello 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #185: Elio Fox had the button and he raised to 200,000 and Chris Moorman called. The flop had more clubs in it than Soho - {J-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} - and Moorman checked to Fox who bet 250,000. Moorman took his time and raised the action to 625,000 and Fox made the call. The turn was the interesting {A-Spades} and Moorman kept up his momentum with a bet of 950,000. Fox remained seemingly unfazed with his fists clenched tightly underneath his mouth; he grabbed for chips and made the call. Going to the last card and someone was going to be disappointed. The river was the even more interesting {10-Clubs} and Moorman pulled back on the brake a little bit with a check. Action to Fox and he also checked and we had a showdown of epic proportions.

Showdown

Fox
Moorman	Mucked

Incredibly Fox won with his {2-Clubs} making him a flush and Moorman is down under 5 million now.

Livello 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #186: Chris Moorman had the button, and he raised to 200,000. Elio Fox defended, and the flop came {J-Spades} {5-Hearts} {J-Hearts} . Fox checked, Moorman bet 200,000, and Fox would go no further. No jack-deuce this time, it seems.

Hand #187: Elio Fox had the button. He raised to 200,000 and took it down.

Hand #188: Chris Moorman had the button, and he raised to 200,000. Elio Fox reraised to 525,000, and Moorman folded out of the way.

Hand #191: Elio Fox had the button, and he raised to 200,000. Chris Moorman took a longer-than-usual pause, and that usually means a reraise here. Indeed, he added some more to the bet and made it 500,000 total, but it would not get through. Fox announced an all-in four-bet, and Moorman gaped at the move. His eyes got all wide for a moment, but not in the good way, and he shook his head and folded.
