Morrison Rivered

With 750 in the pot and the flop spread {4-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} Kirk Morrison led out for 200 and was quickly raised to 800.

Morrison thought for a little before announcing raise and tossing in an additional yellow 1,000 denomination chip amounting to a raise of 1,800.

His opponent slid in a stack of chips amounting to over 5,500 and Morrison made the call for his remaining 2,300.

Morrison: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

With Morrison in great shape to double up, he would see the {3-Spades} fall on the turn - but like in a previous $1,500 event - his opponent would river a bigger set when the {K-Spades} dinged on the river to send Morrison crashing to the rail.
