Ashkenazi Doubles Through Morgan

Level 28 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Raymond Morgan raised it up to 75,000 from under the gun, and everyone folded until Ido Ashkenazi in the big blind. He asked how much the raise was, and as soon as he heard the amount, he moved all in. Morgan got a count, and after a minute of thought, he slid the call in.

Morgan: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Ashkenazi: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

We had a race on our hands, but Ashkenazi shot out to the lead when he hit the flop hard: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Morgan was now looking to catch one of the two nines in the deck, but the {5-Diamonds} on the turn and the {k-Spades} on the river didn't provide any help.

After that pot, Morgan became the short stack with 250,000, while Ashkenazi shot up to 750,000.
