Kurtzman Finds a Way to Eliminate Morris

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Eric Kurtzman
Eric Kurtzman

Arthur Morris just recently got moved tables and started the hand with nearly a fresh starting stack. In a three-bet pot, Morris was heads-up with Eric Kurtzman. The flop was {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Kurtzman led out for 20,000. Morris raised the pot to 84,000 and Kurtzman re-potted, putting Morris at risk for his entire stack.

Arthur Morris: {a-Diamonds}{a-}{q-Diamonds}{q-}
Eric Kurtzman: {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Kurtzman held a pair with a straight draw while Morris had the best hand and best draw with a pair of aces and a flush draw. However, the {4-Spades} on the turn and the {5-Spades} on the river gave Kurtzman a straight and Morris was eliminated.
