Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
In a blind-on-blind battle, the board read 10♠9♣2♦3♦ on the turn with 18,000 in the middle.
John Morgan led for 6,000 from the small blind before the big blind jammed as the covering stack, and Morgan called off for 17,000 total.
John Morgan: 10♥4♣
Big Blind: Q♣10♦
Both players held top pair, but the queen kicker played. Morgan could not be saved on the 5♣ river, and the beloved entrepreneur was sent to the rail.
