Chris "888Moorman" Moorman Doubles

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

888poker Ambassador Chris "888Moorman" Moorman had his stack up to around 600,000 before more than doubling that up in a recent hand.

The hand began with "Mindcrushers" raising preflop to 35,765 from early position and getting a call from spiffytech the buttom and Moorman from the big blind.

After Moorman checked, Mindcrushers then led out with a bet of 55,876 on a {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop. Spiffytech folded and Moorman called.

Moorman checked once again and subsequently called a bet from his opponent of 136,322 after the {4-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. The {8-Spades} completed the board and Moorman checked once again before his opponent shoved for 700,000, which more than Moorman's remaining stack of 371,725.

Moorman let time run down before the time bank kicked in. He eventually called and hauled in a huge pot of 1,257,141 after he turned over {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for two pair, which was ahead of his opponent's pocket queens.

TheMulletman Soars to the Lead

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

Play began with Finland's Zuliaman calling for his remaining stack of 8,120 from early position before Germany's lolraiser jammed from the small blind for 220,454. Sweden's TheMulletman called from the big blind and placed both of his opponents' tournament life at risk.

Zuliaman: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
lolraiser: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
TheMulletman: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

Zuliaman was ahead throughout the hand as the board ran out {2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{q-Spades}. However, TheMulletman who already had more than a million chips before the hand watched his stack grow to 1,330,843 and the chip lead thanks to the hefty side pot.

Meanwhile, lolraiser was eliminated in 68th place for $392.
