The Moon is Out Tonight

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Bryan Moon
Bryan Moon

Not long ago Bryan Moon was sitting on a massive stack of 180,000, but his luck changed quickly and he is now out of the tournament.

Moon bleed quite a few chips before losing a bit pot with {q-}{q-} against {a-}{a-}. Moon managed to flop a queen to take the lead, but it was only temporary as his opponent found an ace on the turn. That left Moon with just 6,000 in chip, but he managed to work that up to 30,000 or so before dropping back down to 10,500.

That is when he committed it from the cutoff and received a call from Jason Zarlenga in the big blind.

Moon: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Zarlenga: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Moon was behind, but he was drawing to two live cards. The {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop was disaster though as Zarlenga paired his ace and gave him a hammerlock on the hand. The {A-Spades} turn improved Zarlenga to a full house, which left a frustrated Moon drawing dead.

The meaningless {10-Diamonds} was put out on the river for good measure, and then the Moon finally set.
