Morgan Loses Most of His Stack

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a flop of {j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, John Morgan checked from the big blind and a player in middle position bet 500. Another player in the cutoff raised to 1,600 and Morgan then check-raised to 4,000. Undeterred, the initial bettor shoved for 25,800 and action folded back around to Morgan, who called.

Morgan: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
MP: {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Morgan ran into bottom two-pair, and the {10-Hearts} turn and {k-Diamonds} river kept him second best — forcing Morgan to surrender the majority of his stack.
