Harwood Smokes Two
After two recent casualties took to Twitter for a quick postmortem of their respective bustout hands, we learned that Loni Harwood just chipped up in a major way by busting fellow pros Chris Moorman and Alex Rocha.
We stopped by for a quick chat with Harwood, who burst onto the poker scene last summer with an incredible World Series of Poker performance, winning her first gold bracelet and contending for WSOP Player of the Year honors.
According to Harwood, she opened to 2,800 from under the gun and called when Alex Rocha three-bet jammed for his last 16,000. Harwood found herself dominated with against Rocha's , but "Luscious Lon" found the lady she needed on the turn.
Soon afterward, Harwood went toe-to-toe with the best player to ever grind the virtual felt, opening to 3,000 before engaging in a raising war with Moorman. He popped it to 6,800, Harwood four-bet to 19,000 and Moorman five-bet shipped for his last 75,000 or so with Harwood making the call to put him at risk.

The board ran out clean for Harwood's tens and with that she sent two players to the rail while building a big stack early on in the day.
