James McManus opened the action with a raise to 800 from middle position and Kirk Morrison flat called from the big blind.

They took a flop of {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Morrison checked to McManus who fired a continuation bet of 1,100. Morrison made the call.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Morrison checked again to McManus who fired a second barrel worth 2,500. Morrison then announced he was all in and McManus snap-called.

"Noooo, are you sure you don't want to fold?!?" cried Morrison knowing that he was in trouble with his {K-Spades}{10-Spades}. Trouble indeed, as McManus showed {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for a set of jacks. A meaningless {9-Hearts} on the river, and Morrison stood and shook all of his opponents' hands before heading to the rail.

Before he exited, he spoke to our desk and wanted us to convey his thanks to all of the folks back at "The Gables" for their support as they followed our coverage. He also mentioned to us about an upcoming event he is involved with in the Cook Islands, so we look forward to hearing more from Kirk in the future.
