Leo Boxell limped the button only to have Matthew Pearson bump it to 525 from the small blind to force a fold from Boxell.
"You gotta put that hand in the coverage! First hand he's won!" stated Oliver Gill as Pearson collected the pot to move to 6,800.
On the following hand, Pearson opened the button to 400 and found a caller on the small blind before Morton dropped 6,150 into the pot from the big blind - leaving himself just 500.
Pearson instantly followed suit by committing his 6,800 as the small blind went into the tank.
"I might pass, it's still an option." stated Morton as the small blind asked for a count on what remained in Morton's stack.
Showing him his last 500, Morton added, "I guess I might risk it all this hand!"
The small blind folded as Morton was put at risk.

Pearson:
With Morton calling for no clubs and no diamonds, Pearson took a different approach and belowed for clubs.
The final board of saw both players chop up the small blind's 400.
Grant Levy opened with a raise to 300 and the big blind defended while drawing two as Levy drew one.
With Crown Casino rules stipulating that the blind acts second after the initial raiser, Levy checked and the big blind bet out 150. Levy called as both players drew one before Levy led for 300 with his opponent calling.
Levy opted to stand pat as his opponent drew one more card before folding to Levy's 300-chip bet on the final draw.
"Nuts?" asked Graeme Putt.
Levy tabled his and collected the small, but stack-building pot.
Catching the action on fifth street, we found Ash Gupta taking the lead by firing out a 300-chip bet after his opponent John Caridad checked. Caridad called, and then proceeded to check-call bets on sixth and seventh street.
Caridad: (X)(X) / / (X)
Gupta: (X)(X) / (X)
Gupta tabled his / for two-pair to collect the pot and move to 16,900 as Caridad folded and slipped to 6,500 in chips.
"They got me out of the house to play poker!" stated Mike Matusow from the rail in the direction of Mel Judah.
"Oh hi Mike!" added Judah as Matusow slowly made his way towards the buy-in desk.
"Retirement wasn't fun anyway!" Matusow continued.
For the record, Matusow still hasn't taken a seat in today's tournament, and as this PokerNews blogger takes a look around the room, can't spot the three-time WSOP bracelet holder.
