Championship: Tough Level

$3,500 Championship No Limit Hold’em

 Level 10: Blinds 500/1,000/100 ante

This has been a tough level.

Michael Moreno, who was a big stack at the break, busted out.  He got his last chips in with Q5 and ran into Juan Cueto’s AQ.  The board gave Michael a glimmer of hope with a gutshot on the turn, but the river bricked and Michael was toast.

A couple of tables over, Mohamed Maghraoui got his last chips in good with pocket Queens.  Andrew Boccia looked him up with KQ.

The board ran out 5 3 2 8 K and Andrew caught a 3-outer on the river to take the pot, sending Mohamed to the rail.
