Morris Loses Big Flip to Bust

Nick Becker

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action picked up preflop with Arthur Morris all in and at risk in the cutoff for 1,450,000 against Yilong Wang in the small blind.

Arthur Morris: Q♦Q♠ All in
Yilong Wang: A♠K♠

The flop came 4♦4♠7♠ with Morris' pair of queens still in the lead, but Wang picked up additional outs with the flush draw.

The 6♥ turn was safe for Morris but the A♦ river saw the big pot being pushed Wang's way.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Alexander Greenblatt raised to 50,000 from late position and found calls from Angela Defoe on the button and Cesar Del Pino in the big blind.

The flop came 4♠10♥7♥, and it was checked to Defoe who bet out for 50,000, both other players called. The turn brought the K♠, and again the action went check-check to Defoe, who bet 110,000 this time and got two calls.

The river saw the 4♦ peel off, and again it was checked to Defoe, who bet out 200,000 this time, which sent Del Pino into the tank before he announced all in. Greenblatt folded, and Defoe snap called tabling K♦K♣ for a turned set and rivered full house. Del Pino showed 8♠7♠ for third pair as Defoe had already started stacking the monster pot.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Fady Khabbaz raised from early position to 50,000 and found calls from Ehsan Amiri in late position and Olivier Busquet in the cutoff.

The flop came K♦2♦9♣ and Khabbaz continued for 30,000. Amiri folded, and Busquet pumped it up to 105,000, Khabbaz called, and the players saw the K♥ drop on the turn.

Khabbaz checked and Busquet tossed out a bet of 135,000, which sent Khabbaz into the tank for a good 2-3 minutes. He decided to fold and showed Busquet Q♦Q♥, which made Busquet smile.

"You don't have the king, do you?" stated Khabbaz.

"Do you want to see?" asked Busquet.

"Sure," came the reply, as Busquet tabled 7♣6♣ for a bluff.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action picked up on the river with Ilan Cukrowicz in the tank facing an all in from Luigi Soncin.

With over 500,000 in the middle and the board reading 5♠J♠J♣10♦3♣, the under-the-gun Cukrowicz had checked and Luigi Soncin in the hijack had moved all in for 660,000 to put himself at risk.

Eventually, Cukrowicz flicked in the call and tabled A♣10♠ for two pair, jacks and tens with an ace kicker, besting the K♠Q♠ of Soncin.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Govert Metaal raised to 50,000 from early position which saw Fabian Niederreiter call on the button and Steven Jones defended his big blind.

The flop rolled out 4♣7♥7♦ and Jones checked over to Metaal who bet 55,000 and received two calls.

Jones lead out for 180,000 on the turn 5♦ and only Niederreiter called.

On the river 2♠, Jones moved all in for 485,000 effective and Niederreiter went into the tank. After some thought, he tossed his hand into the muck.

"Show it," said table-mate Upeshka De Silva and Jones obliged, turning over J♣4♠.

Niederreiter stood out of his chair, frustrated by the situation while the 2023 WSOP Main Event runner up took down the pot.
