Kirk Morrison Eliminated

It took just two back-to-back hands for Kirk Morrison to lose all his chips. In the first hand, Morrison took his {A-Spades}{3-Spades} up against the {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} of his opponent, and despite flopping a straight flush draw, came up short to lose about half his stack.

The very next hand, Morrison pushed all in for 1,225 from the button holding {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and got a reluctant call from the big blind, who showed {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}. The flop was disaster for Morrison, coming {J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and neither the {10-Diamonds} turn or the {Q-Hearts} river were any help to him.
