David Steicke limped into the pot from early position and the action folded around the table to Morris who raised. Jan Suchanek made the call from late position and when the action reached Dix in the blinds, he moved all in for his last 5,300.

first and then squeezed the 
making two pair, but to no avail. Morris raked in the pot, climbing to 112,000 in chips to end the day.
