Kirk Morrison is one of the true characters of the game. Always a smiling face at the table, Morrison consistently has a “glass half full” approach to not only his poker, but also his life. Morrison had his first WSOP cash in 1994 with a final table finish in the $1500 Limit Holdem event, running 3rd for $72,300. He then went on to have a series of cashes in and around Los Angeles and Las Vegas, before winning his first WSOP Bracelet in 1998 in the $1500 Seven Card Stud event.
Seeking a quieter lifestyle, Morrison moved to New Zealand, where he systematically dominated the Australasian Poker scene with a series of final table finishes and several local titles. Morrison made a return to the US in 2006, finishing 36th in the Bay 101 Shooting Star event ($20,000) and 10th in the $1000 Seven Card Stud Hi Lo event at the WSOP ($7,888).
His return to form has come this year, after a run of success on the WPT and WSOP circuits. He has cashed four times in the WPT this year, including a second place finish in the WPT Championship ($2,011,135). He cashed 5 times at this years WSOP, including a 56th place finish in the Main Event ($154,194).
