Morrison Gets a Double; Gives a Double

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jim Morrison
Jim Morrison

Hand #1: More than 65,000 was already in the middle with heads-up action between Jim Morrison in the cutoff and an opponent under the gun. The board read {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Clubs} and the under-the-gun player had checked to Morrison, who shoved for 50,200. After some deliberation, a call was made.

Jim Morrison: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Morrison's aces were out in front but needed to fade the remaining spades and sevens in the deck. The river {j-Diamonds} fell cleanly in his favor and he scored a full double, with his opponent covering by about 10,000.

Hand #2: On the very next hand, Bruce Carter open-jammed for 22,300 in early position and Morrison called in the hijack. The big blind, who was Morrison's opponent from the previous hand, called all in as well.

Big Blind: {q-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Bruce Carter: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Jim Morrison: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

Each player took turns having the best hand through a runout of {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, with Carter's rivered pair of aces scoring both pots for a full double and then some.
