Morton Makes His Move

Level 24 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Under the gun, John Riordan opened to 50,000, and Austin Buchanan made the call in the cutoff seat. From the small blind, Mike Morton moved all in for 239,000, and Riordan took pause to consider. After a minute or so, he reraised to something like a million, successfully isolating himself against Morton with a chance at the knockout.

Showdown
Riordan: {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Morton: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}

The board ran out clean for the at-risk Morton, coming {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {4-Spades} {3-Diamonds}. With his jacks holding, he doubles to 562,000.
