Sion Falls to Morris
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On the heads-up turn of 7♣5♦4♣8♥, Elior Sion and Gruffudd Pugh-Jones both invested 24,000, and the former then checked the 3♠ on the river. Pugh-Jones bet the pot for 91,000 to win the pot uncontested.
Soon after that, Arthur Morris opened to 21,000, and Barrett Threadgill called. Sion potted to 90,000 in the small blind and Morris repotted. Threadgill folded, and Sion reluctantly got his stack of around 350,000 into the middle.
Elior Sion: K♣K♦6♦6♣
Arthur Morris: A♠A♣9♦4♠
Morris was ahead with pocket aces, and then the J♣9♥7♦Q♥9♣ runout improved Morris to trip nines, and he scored the knockout.
