Hand #159: Kirk Morrison Doubles Through Carlos Mortensen

Kirk Morrison
Kirk Morrison
Hand #159 - Kirk Morrison has the button, he moves all in for 4.4 million, and Mortensen calls with {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Morrison shows {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, and Morrison picks up a flush draw and a ton of outs -- he needs an eight, a seven, or any diamond to survive.

The turn card is the {Q-Clubs}, and Morrison is once again down to his last card. If he misses, Carlos Mortensen will make history.

The river card is -- the {10-Diamonds}!

Kirk Morrison makes a flush on the river to stay alive, and Mortensen is once again denied victory.
