The Lizard King Eliminated

From the Empire Casino...

A crowd of people (including Annette_15) standing five-deep on the rail caught my attention and I rushed over to Kirk Morrison's table. With about 12,000 in the pot, I noticed that the action was four-handed. The board read {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Aleksander Vathne checked, Martin Johnson checked, Roland De Wolfe checked, and Kirk Morrison moved all in for 21,000. Vathne went into the tank as Martin Johnson folded behind out of turn. One of the other players not in the hand berated Martin for his poor etiquette. Vanthe eventually moved all-in over the top and De Wolfe folded.

"I'm in deep trouble," said Morrison. "I'll show you one card."

Morrison flipped over the {2-Hearts}. Then he revealed the {5-Spades}. All he had was a gutshot. Vathne tabled {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for top pair. The turn was the {J-Spades} and the river was the {2-Diamonds}. Vathne knocked out Morrison as he wished everyone good luck.
