Morrison Doubles Giang

Pot-Limit Omaha:

We caught a giant pot brewing on an {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Spades} board. Chau Giang potted, and his lone opponent, Kirk Morrison, didn't have much more than that bet behind. He took about four minutes to decide what to do, picking up his cards and fake folding a few times. Eventually he moved all in, and Giang called the extra. Morrison turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a wheel. It was good, but Giang held on to his cards anyway while the dealer counted down the 84,000 in Morrison's stack. The dealer pushed the pot to Morrison, who started to drag it in but paused and waited while Giang checked his cards again. Finally Chau nodded again and said the pot was his but still didn't let go of his cards until the whole transaction was over and the dealer insisted.

Morrison is up to 335,000 after doubling through Chau, who was left with 105,000, but looks much shorter since he's got most of his money in four T25,000 chips.
