Morrison Gets a Double; Gives a Double
Hand #1: More than 65,000 was already in the middle with heads-up action between Jim Morrison in the cutoff and an opponent under the gun. The board read ![]()

and the under-the-gun player had checked to Morrison, who shoved for 50,200. After some deliberation, a call was made.
Jim Morrison: ![]()

Opponent: ![]()

Morrison's aces were out in front but needed to fade the remaining spades and sevens in the deck. The river
fell cleanly in his favor and he scored a full double, with his opponent covering by about 10,000.
Hand #2: On the very next hand, Bruce Carter open-jammed for 22,300 in early position and Morrison called in the hijack. The big blind, who was Morrison's opponent from the previous hand, called all in as well.
