Fair Plays the Role of the Grinch
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Charles "Woody" Moore limped in from the hijack before Chun Kwok raised to 50,000 in the small blind. Nathan Fair called in the big blind, as did Moore.
The flop came 4♥3♦Q♣ and Kwok continued for 60,000. Fair then raised to 150,000 and Moore moved all in for 175,000. Kwok folded, while Fair called to put Moore at risk.
Woody Moore: A♦Q♦
Nathan Fair: K♥K♣
"Good luck, Santa," Fair told Moore.
"I'm in bad shape," Moore added, and the rest of the board ran out 10♥9♣ to send Moore to the rail. Kwok then admitted he also had ace-queen.
"Who killed Santa?" one of the ESPN production crew asked.
"The grinch," Fair replied, and Moore went around the table to shake his tablemates hands before heading to the exit.
