Hand #134: Kirk Morrison Doubles Through Carlos Mortensen

Kirk Morrison
Kirk Morrison
Hand #134 - Carlos Mortensen has the button, he limps for 800,000, and Morrison checks. The flop comes {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, and both players check. The turn card is the {3-Diamonds}, Morrison bets 1 million, Mortensen immediately raises to 2 million, Morrison thinks for about two minutes and moves all in for 9.4 million. Mortensen immediately calls.

Kirk Morrison shows {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a pair of aces, but Carlos Mortensen has {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for two pair. Morrison needs an ace, a ten, or a three on the river to stay alive.

The river card is -- the {10-Diamonds}! The crowd reacts loudly as victory is snatched from Mortensen's grasp and Morrison is given new life.

It's not over yet, folks.
