Morris Leads the Field
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Arthur Morris raised to 1,500,000 from the small blind holding A♥A♣7♦6♠, and Lou Garza called from the big blind with 9♦8♣7♣6♣.
The board ran out K♠J♥K♥J♣4♠, but neither player made a bet.
"Aces," said Morris, turning over his hand to take not only the pot but the status as chipleader.
