Hand #93: Kirk Morrison Makes a Monster Call for a Monster Pot

Kirk Morrison
Kirk Morrison
Hand #93 - Kirk Morrison has the button, he raises to 1 million, and Mortensen calls. The flop comes {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and both players check. The turn card pairs the board with the {10-Diamonds}, Mortensen bets 1.6 million, and Morrison calls. The river card puts trips on the board with the {10-Hearts}, Mortensen bets 4 million, and Morrison studies Mortensen for several long, quiet minutes.

If Morrison calls, this pot will be worth 13.3 million, and could swing the entire tournament.

Morrison finally calls, showing A-J for trip tens with an ace kicker. Mortensen shows K-2 for trip tens with a king kicker. Morrison makes an extremely difficult call to win a huge pot and take a big lead in the final stage of this tournament.
