Nice Early Pot for Morford
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
Leon Morford bet 600 from the big blind in a three-way pot on a 
flop, and Ervin Bjerga raised to 1,200 from the cutoff. The third player folded from the small blind, and Morford called. He check-called another 2,200 on the 
turn before checking a final time on the 
river. Bjerga tossed in one chip.
"Five thousand," Morford mused. Apparently, the bet didn't phase him as he raised to 12,000, getting a quick fold.
Neither Morford nor Bjerga is a stranger to deep Mid-States Poker Tour runs, as Morford has a second-place finish at MSPT Majestic Star last year, while Bjerga was the most recent MSPT champ, taking down the event at Running Aces a couple of weeks ago for $91,941.
