Hand #73 - Carlos Mortensen has the button in seat 3, Laliberte raises under the gun to 1.3 million, and Morrison calls from the big blind. The flop comes {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, Morrison checks, Laliberte bets 2 million, and Morrison thinks for about a minute before moving all in.

Laliberte calls, showing {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} for a jack-high flush draw. Morrison shows {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, and actually has the lead. Laliberte needs an ace, a jack, or any club to stay alive.

The turn card is the {3-Spades}, pairing the board and making things more interesting. Laliberte needs an ace, a queen, a jack, a six, or any club to stay alive.

The river card is the {8-Spades}, and Morrison's pocket deuces hold up to win.

Guy Laliberte is eliminated in fourth place, earning $696,220. The next player eliminated will earn $1,082,920 for third place.
