Morelli Busts Plaza; Houghton Finds Queens to Double Off Foggin
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Thales Morelli raised to 60,000 in the hijack, Andre Plaza Marcano moved all in for 390,000 in the cutoff, and Morelli called.
Andre Plaza Marcano: J♦10♦ 
Thales Morelli: A♣9♠
The A♠6♥2♣ flop was a disaster for Plaza Marcano as Morelli hit top pair. The 5♣ turn left Plaza Marcano drawing dead, while the 4♣ river sealed his elimination.
At the same time on another table, Kevin Houghton was all in for 890,000 from the hijack and up against Marc Foggin in the small blind.
Kevin Houghton: Q♣Q♠
Marc Foggin: 8♥8♣
Houghton had Foggin crushed with his queens, and the 7♥4♣6♣2♣A♥ board proved safe enough for Houghton to double up.
