Morton Pulls the Double-Double

Level 31 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

From the cutoff, John Riordan opened to 160,000. We've seen this before. In the big blind, Mike Morton moved all in, three-betting Riordan for the second consecutive time. This time it was 1.32 million to call, and Riordan did so with the {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. Morton's {A-Hearts} {J-Spades} was drawing, and the {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} flop hit him in a big way. The turn {J-Hearts} ended any potential two-out drama, and Riordan was already counting out his debt when the {10-Diamonds} landed on fifth street.

With two doubles in a row, Morton is back to 2.72 million. Riordan has slipped again, set back to a still-quite-healthy 5.2 million.
