Early Double For Morris

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante
Arthur Morris
Arthur Morris

It was brought to the attention of a PokerNews live reporter that there was a double up within the first ten minutes of play.

There was 5,100 in the middle on a flop of {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} which caused a raising war between Arthur Morris in the small blind and his opponent in the big blind where eventually both players were all-in.

Big Blind: {8-}{8-}{x-}{x-}
Arthur Morris : {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The big blind had top set and Morris had a gut-shot straight draw and flush draw. The {7-Spades} on the turn gave Morris an unwanted set, but the {3-Clubs} on the river gave Morris the flush and the early chip lead.
