Jordan Morgan and the Three Sixes

[user66118]

A player in middle position limps in, and Jordan Morgan raises from the cutoff, making it 900 to go. The limper gets frisky, and reraises the full pot, which Morgan calls.

The flop brings {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

, and the player leads out with a pot-sized bet. Morgan raises it up, enough to put his opponent all in. He makes the call, showing {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

. Morgan, however, nailed the flop and he shows {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

for trips.

The turn and river come {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

,

{7-Hearts}

, locking it up for Morgan.

When the dust settles, Morgan has knocked his opponent out of the tournament, and chipped his way up to 37,350, quite near the top of the standings.
