Monica's Kings Hold; Morgan's Aces Do Not

Jordan Morgan - eliminated
Jordan Morgan - eliminated

It was a tale of two big hands at Conrad Monica's and Jordan Morgan's table. Monica opened pre-flop with {k-Clubs} {k-Hearts} and was raised by Ray Henson's {q-Clubs} {q-Hearts}. Monica moved all in (naturally). Henson had to think a moment before calling.

"Hold up," said Monica upon seeing Henson's hand. His kings did indeed hold up, {2-Spades} {2-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}, to double Monica to 490,000. Henson dropped to 100,000.

On a nearby table, the action was much the same between Jordan Morgan, with pocket aces, and Craig Bergeron with pocket queens. Perhaps the only difference was that Morgan did not ask for his hand to hold up, and it didn't. A queen spiked on the turn to give Bergeron the pot and eliminated Morgan from the tournament.
