Morin Binks the River
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Lukas Hafner made it 1,200,000 from the cutoff and Matthew Morin shoved the button for 3,400,000. Nicholas Seward also shoved from the small blind, which got Hafner out of the way.
Matthew Morin: 5♣5♦ 
Nicholas Seward: 10♠10♥
"I need some help," said Morin. He was right as his pocket pair was dominated by that of Seward's.
A 4♦6♦8♣ flop did give Morin a gutshot, but the J♣ turn was of no use. With one chance at survival, Morin binked a set when the 5♠ hit the river, earning him the pot.
