Moore��s Pocket Pair Holds Up
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Charles Moore was in middle position and involved in a postflop hand against Richard Peterson, who was on the button.
Moore, however, dug in throughout the hand in the face of aggression on a board showing 3?5?3?. The player in the big blind was also in the hand, and he and Moore checked to Peterson, who bet 150,000, which both players called.
The 2? appeared on the turn, and the action once again checked to Peterson, who fired 275,000. The big blind folded, but Moore called.
The dealer placed Q? on the river, leading to Moore and Peterson checking.
Peterson tabled 5?4?, but saw his hand wasn��t good when Moore showed 9?9? for the wining hand.
