Morfitt Finds An Ace

Liam Gannon

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Quang Pham: K♣J♥
Matt Morfitt: A♥K♠

The flop rolled out Q♠3♥J♣ which saw Morfitt stand out of his seat as Pham hit his kicker. The turn 3♣ didn't change anything, but the river A♥ connected with Morfitt and saw him sit back down as the pot was pushed his direction and Pham exited the tournament.

Liam Gannon

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

David Fager moved all in for 91,000 from late position which saw Michael Fouts call on the button. In the small blind, Danny Clarkson moved all in for 166,000 which Tom Foerster in the big blind called while Fouts tossed his hand away, saying he had two queens.

Tom Foerster: A♣K♦

Clarkson looked all set to more than double through his opponents, but the flop of A♦7♦10♣ connected with Foerster.
