Morgenstern's Turn to Double

Level 26 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Anton Morgenstern shoved from the small blind for 1,565,000 and was called by Kristen Bicknell in the big blind.

Anton Morgenstern: {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Kristen Bicknell: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for Morgenstern to flop top pair and improve to trips on the river to double up.

"In a weird way, I was rooting for you to win..." Bicknell said.

"I actually believe you," Morgenstern replied while they both laughed.
