Morisson Doubles Up Before Break
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
With blinds and antes on the rise each level, players with short stacks are picking spots to put their tournament lives at risk.
Brandon Morisson found himself in that exact situation minutes before the first break.
Morisson, who had 630,000 in front of him, moved all in early position. A player in late position made the call and the action went to the flop after the blinds folded.
Morisson: Q♠9♠
Opponent: A♥K♥
The dealer placed J♦4♠J♠ on the board, leaving Morisson behind his opponent. But Morisson had outs with the flush draw and he could also pair any of his two cards.
The turn produced J♥, and then Morrison got his card when 7♠ arrived on the river to give him the flush and a much-needed double up.
