Morgan Rivers Full House; Leaves Siegel with Pebbles

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Marv Siegel
Marv Siegel

There was heads-up all in action after a {6-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop between Marv Siegel from the big blind and Mike Morgan from the cutoff.

Marv Siegel: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Mike Morgan: {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Morgan flopped top-two pair but still had to dodge some clubs to win the hand.

The dealer burned and turned the {2-Hearts} which was no help to Siegel, nor was the {9-Hearts} river as the Day 1b chip leader was reduced to table scraps.

Andrew Porter opened under the gun and Thao Tran jammed from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Porter who called for less.

Thao Tran: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Andrew Porter: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Tran had been asking the dealers for aces all day and got them at a perfect time as the board ran out {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} to eliminate Porter.

DaConti Eliminated

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Dan DaConti
Dan DaConti

While PokerNews was walking around getting updated chip counts, Dan DaConti was seen leaving his seat heading to the payout desk and told us about his elimination.

DaConti was down to ten big blinds and jammed holding {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and was called by his opponent holding {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

DaConti flopped a ten and was looking good to grab the much needed double, but his opponent spiked a queen on the river to end his tournament run.
