Morrison Piles on The Aggression

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Tom Morrison
Tom Morrison

A player opened to 800 from middle position and was called directly behind by Tom Morrison. Everyone else got out of the way and the flop came {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}. The initial raiser bet 800 and Morrison raised to 3,000. His opponent called.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts} and Morrison's opponent check-called a 7,000 bet from Morrison.

The {10-Diamonds} completed the board and this time Morrison's opponent led out for 9,000. Morrison thought a while before sliding out his entire stack for a raise to about 32,000. Morrison's opponent folded after some deliberation — awarding the sizable pot to Morrison.

Yaser Al-Keliddar is back for Day 1b after busting on Day 1a.

In a recent hand, Al-Keliddar was three ways on a flop of {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Action checked to Al-Keliddar in middle position, who bet 900. Only one player called from early position.

Both players checked down on the {q-Diamonds} turn and {a-Clubs} river. Al-Keliddar's opponent showed {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair of sixes, while Al-Keliddar tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} for a wininng pair of jacks.

Al-Keliddar, who won the Potomac Winter Open $400 event back in 2020, is sitting just above a starting stack and will be looking to make another deep run this year.

On a board of {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, William Blackburn was heads-up on the button against a lone player in the big blind. Blackburn bet 3,000 after being checked to and his opponent then check-shoved for around 20,000.

Blackburn quickly called and his opponent showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for just a pair of sevens. Blackburn held the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a flush — sending his opponent to the rail and scooping a huge pot in the first level.
