Seat 1 brought in but then folded when the follow action occurred. Barry Shulman called, Frankie O’Dell raised, John Racener called, Kelly called and, finally, Shulman called.
O’Dell led on fourth, Racener called, Kelly folded and Shulman called. Fifth saw Shulman check, O’Dell bet, Racener call and Shulman call. Sixth street witnessed a bet from O’Dell and calls from both Racener and Shulman.
O’Dell fired again on seventh and Racener was the only player to call.
O’Dell showed trip fives and split the pot with Racener’s low.
Kirk Morrison may not be a household name when it comes to poker ... but back in the day it certainly was!
Morrison's career can be traced all the way back to 1994 when he recorded a 3rd place in the WSOP $1,500 Limit Holdem, however it wouldn't be until 1998 when he collected his first and only bracelet in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud for $148,185 that his name would be truly etched into the WSOP record books.
Although basing his time in New Zealand, Los Angeles and here in Las Vegas, Morrison was known for honing his skills in mixed games and frequently playing the highest limit mixed games most notably in Bobby's Room. One of Daniel Negreanu's friend's from back in the day, it would be Negreanu himself that would pull Morrison out of New Zealand to come back on the poker trail once the game started to boom in the early 2000's.
In early 2007 the Morrison name began hitting the headlines three big WPT scores before taking 2nd in the WPT Championship to Carlos Mortensen for $2,011,135 - the biggest WPT Championship to date! Morrison would then go on to the WSOP where he would cash six times, make two final tables and have an exceptionally deep run in the Main Event where his play was highlighted by his , friendly demeanour, contagious laugh and American/New Zealand-inspired use of the word "Mate!"
Over the past few years however Morrison has slowly drifted off the radar, and although he has notched a few WSOP cashes - including a direct bubble of the $50,000 Poker Players Championship - it still isn't the same Morrison that many have come accustomed too.
However, this all could be changing as Morrison has been spotted - albeit with a longer hairdo, and a scruffy goatee - in today's field, and hopefully will be making a run at his second WSOP Seven Card Stud gold bracelet today.
Two tables have just opened up, after play resumed following the break. Occupying some of the seats include 2005 WSOP Main Event champion Joe Hachem, 2012 WSOP Main Event runner-up Jesse Sylvia, PokerStars Team Pro Chad Brown, and Mike Leah.
Leah has had an impressive WSOP so far, already cashing in four events, with his 3rd place finish in the $5,000 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo, the best of them all.
Finding Adam Friedman all in against two opponents, one opponent would fire out on seventh to force the other to fold.

Friedman would table his / for a full house to best his opponent's for the high but still chop for the low.
The next hand would see Friedman find his way all in again holding / against two opponent's, and after he ran out a perfect seven-low, he would scoop a small pot to further add to his stack.
