The action folded around to 888poker ambassador Chris Moorman in the hijack, and he raised to 34,000. Men Nguyen was in the big blind and three-bet to 81,000. Moorman made the call, and the flop came down {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Nguyen continued with a 66,000 bet and Moorman called.

The turn brought the {8-Diamonds}, and Nguyen decided to check. Moorman bet 140,000 and the former called.

Nguyen checked on the {10-Hearts} river, and Moorman moved all in for 344,000. Nguyen thought for a minute before he counted the call from his stack. Once he had, he made the call.

Chris Moorman: {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Men Nguyen: {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Moorman's trip eights were good against Nguyen's two pair, and he secured a full double-up to move above the one million mark.
