Mike Morton Eliminated in 2nd Place ($130,057)

Level 32 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Mike Morton - 2nd Place
Mike Morton - 2nd Place

John Riordan raised to 200,000 on the button and Mike Morton defended his big blind.

The flop came down {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Morton checked. Riordan bet 250,000 and after a few moments, Morton announced all in for roughly 3.1 million. Riordan sighed, going deep into thought for about 30 seconds. "Call," he said confidently. He turned over {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}, holding the lead against Morton's {9-Spades}{3-Spades}.

The {A-Hearts} turn card brought no help to Morton, nor did the {K-Diamonds} river card. Morton's excellent day, starting in 22nd place out of 24 players, has come to an end with a runner-up performance.
