Hands #85-90: Morris Gets Aggressive

Level 36 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hand #85: Daniel Clark raised to 800,000 with {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} from under the gun, and Chris Brice called in the big blind with {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

The action checked to the river on the {j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Spades} board, before Clark's bet won the pot.

Hand #86: Daniel Morgan raised {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} from the hijack to 875,000 and Thomas Hemming three-bet in the cutoff to 2.5million with {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Brice in the small blind then cold four-bet to 7.1million which was enough to take the pot down preflop.

Hand #87: Hemming raised to 800,00 from the hijack with {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and Brice called on the button with {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} before Steven Morris defended his big blind with {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

All three players checked the {8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop and Morris bet on the {2-Spades} turn, which Brice called. The {8-Diamonds} hit the river, and Morris' bet got Brice to fold.

Hand #88: Hemming raised to 800,000 with {a-Spades}{5-Spades} from under the gun position, and Clark called on the button with {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Morris then decided to three-bet to 3.3million with {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Hemming released his hand, as did Clark.

Hand #89: Clark raised to 800,000 with {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} from the cutoff and Morris three-bet to 2.3million from the button with {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Morris' aggression was again able to win him the pot preflop.

Hand #90: Clark raised to 800,000 from the hijack and took down the pot.
