David Morton - 8th Place

Stud:

David Morton was short to start the day. We didn't have any opportunities to call his name before he was all in. He tangled with Michael Guzzardi, committing all 14,500 of his chips on third street with {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

/

{A-Diamonds}

. Guzzardi called with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

/

{J-Hearts}

. It was a virtual flip between the two players. Guzzardi came out ahead when his board came {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

/

{7-Clubs}

to make a pair of aces. Morton wasn't even able to make one pair, {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

/

{8-Hearts}

.

Morton can hold his head high. Taking eighth place in this tournament and winning AU$2,450 is quite an accomplishment.
