Hand #38 - Kirk Morrison Eliminated in 7th Place ($63,591)

[user22113]

Hand #38 - (Limit) Kirk Morrison has the button in seat 6, Berger raises to 80,000, Morrison reraises to 120,000, Paul-Ambrose reraises from the big blind to 160,000, Berger folds, and Morrison calls with just 10,000 left. Paul-Ambrose bets in the dark, which would put Morrison all in.

The flop comes {Q-Hearts}

, and Morrison quickly calls with {10-Spades}

, but Paul-Ambrose shows {Q-Clubs}

for a set. Morrison is in deep trouble, needing a ten or running hearts to stay alive.

The turn card is the {3-Hearts}

, and Morrison picks up a flush draw as his friends in the crowd shout "Heart! Heart!" But the river card is the {K-Spades}

, and Steve Paul-Ambrose takes the pot.

Kirk Morrison is eliminated in 7th place, earning $63,591.

There will be a short break, and play should about 5:50 pm.
