Wheel Straight Secures Victory for Moron
Moron entered heads-up play with a huge chip lead over “LJoseph62” but the latter managed to turn things around at some point during the one-on-one battle. Moron didn’t give in and regained the lead. In the final hand, “LJoseph62” went all-in with queen-deuce against the jack-five of Moron. “LJoseph62” flopped a queen to secure a double, but Moron’s cards unexpectedly improved to a wheel straight and the game was over.
It’s the second time that “LJoseph62” came close to winning his first Super MILLION$ title. Just two weeks ago, he also finished third in the same poker game tournament. His latest run earned him $213,685, with Moron taking home $347,576 in first-place prize.
