Andrew Moreno made a call for the ages during heads-up play Sunday in a $100,000 guaranteed Super September tournament at The Lodge Card Club near Austin, Texas.

The no-limit hold’em two-day event paid its winner $30,544, a prize the champion wouldn’t have received if not for making one of the best calls you’ll ever see.

Poker Star Makes a Brilliant Call

Andrew Moreno PokerMoreno, one of the top tournament players in the game, has made a number of brilliant plays the past few years. He’s recorded nearly $3.7 million in live tournament cashes since 2021, according to The Hendon Mob, including a $1.4 million score for winning a $10,000 buy-in event at Wynn Las Vegas three years ago.

So, when he makes a tough call, it’s pretty much par for the course. But the hand you’re about to witness is some next-level stuff. And, perhaps, the best call captured on a livestream in years.

Moreno, heads-up against Collin Rountree at the time with nearly identical stacks, raised the 40,000 big blind to 100,000 from the button with Q*♥J♦, leaving around 2,100,000 behind. The big blind, who had him covered by a small amount, defended with J♠3♦*.

The flop came out 10*♥4♠6♠*, nothing but some backdoor draws for either player. Moreno, following an under-the-gun check, continued for 180,000 with queen-high only to be check-raised to 530,000 by a player holding jack-high.

That didn’t detour the tournament crusher, who made the call to see the 4*♣* pair the board, no help to either player. Both players checked to the K*♣* on the river, leaving the each player with just high-card hands.

Rountree brought out his aggressive side and put his opponent all in for 1,600,000 with jack-high. Moreno went into the tank with queen-high, and somehow came to the conclusion that not only was Rountree bluffing, he was bluffing with a hand that couldn’t beat his weak hand. Moreno made the gutsy call to take down the pot. He’d go on to win the tournament moments later, while Rountree took second place for $19,829.

Kristy Arnett Moreno, Moreno’s wife and former PokerNews hostess, was even bluffed by her husband.

A one-outer on the river, perhaps for the first time ever, killed a bad beat jackpot from being set off at The Lodge Card Club near Austin, Texas. Yes, you read that right. The pot-limit Omaha bad beat jackpot at the card room co-owned by Doug Polk, Andrew Neeme, and Brad Owen, is up to $118,000 from its $100,000 starting point. The jackpot qualifier had been reached on the flop when two players in a low-stakes game each hit a straight flush. But the qualifier ended when a one-outer royal flush appeared on the river, making the hand a true bad beat, and nobody was paid anything.

Biography Andrew Moreno, the husband of former PokerNews hostess Kristy Moreno (former Kirsty Arnett), has been playing poker since the early 2000s. Originally from the Midwest where he worked at a factory running a steel-cutting machine, Moreno met his future wife after overhearing her talk about poker. In 2006, the duo moved to Las Vegas where he started grinding $1-$2 no-limit holdem cash games, working his way up to $25-$50 over the next decade. In 2021, Moreno turned his attention to tournaments with two goals to surpass $1 million in lifetime earnings (he was $100K short at the time) and to notch his first seven-figure score. It didnt take him long to accomplish both. First, in June 2021, he won the Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series Event #58: $1,100 NLH for $127,740 to meet his first goal. Just over a week later, he accomplished the other when he topped a 1,328-entry field to win the inaugural $10,000 buy-in Wynn Millions for $1,460,106, a win that vaulted Moreno into the next level of poker superstar. Since then he also won another Venetian tournament in February 2022 for $242,293 (a tournament he famously refused to chop), and in the summer of 2022 nearly won another Wynn major, ultimately finishing runner-up in the Wynn Summer Classic $3,500 Championship for $460,529. What Ive learned over the years is that poker and life are mirrors for one another, said Moreno, who welcomed his first child shortly after his career scores in 2021. Both are skill games with elements of luck. Whatever holds you back in poker, holds you back in life, whether its an unhealthy attachment to money, inability to take calculated risks, inflated ego, or self doubt. Improve your game, improve your life, and vice versa. As of September 2022, Moreno has just shy of $3.5 million in lifetime tournament earnings according to The Hendon Mob.
