Morgan Scores Sensational Knockout
Ediberto Pilotin got the action going with an open to 12,000 from under the gun. A player in the cutoff made the call before Dennis Morgan joined with a call from the big blind.
The flop came 2♣2♠A♠ before Morgan and Pilotin checked. The cutoff took the initiative with a bet of 35,000. Morgan called, but Pilotin got out of the fray with a fold.
Morgan checked again on the Q♥ turn before the cutoff kept up the betting with a wager of 60,000.
"I guess I'm going all-in," said Morgan as he pushed his chips in the middle to commit himself for his entire stack.
The cutoff called as the two were in a rare instance where both were at risk since they had the exact same amount of chips, 99,000.
Cutoff: A♥K♣
Dennis Morgan: 2♥2♦
The cutoff found out the bad news as Morgan flopped four of a kind and had him drawing dead with one card to go.
The river was the salt in the wound when it came the A♦ river to upgrade him to a full house that was still no good in the face of Morgan's quads.
