Morstoel Catches the Break
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Matthias Auer opened to 100,000 on the button and Claudio Di Giacomo made it 350,000.
Thor Morstoel was in the big blind and sunk into the tank. The floor was called, and he was given 30 seconds to act.
Morstoel eventually mucked his hand and the Auer was quick to follow. Di Giacomo still had his hand in front of him and peeled back his cards to show Morstoel.
Di Giacomo had pocket aces and Morstoel remarked "I was so close to calling", and he was secure with his remaining chips, seeing it into another Day 3 break.
When asked by another player at the table what he folded, Morstoel continued with "I had King-Queen"
