Hand #52 - Guy Laliberte has the button in seat 2, Morrison raises under the gun to 700,000, Mortensen reraises from the small blind to 2.7 million, and Morrison thinks for about two minutes before calling. There is already 5.68 million in the pot before the flop.

The flop comes {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, and Mortensen immediately moves all in for 6.61 million. Morrison has 5.46 million, so this decision is for his tournament life. After two minutes, he calls.

Mortensen shows {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for top pair, top kicker, but Morrison leads with {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} -- a set of jacks. Mortensen needs something runner-runner to win the hand.

The turn card is the {A-Clubs}, giving Mortensen two pair and four outs to eliminate Morrison.

The river card is the {9-Spades}, and Morrison's set holds up to win the pot.

Kirk Morrison takes the lead with over 16 million in chips. Carlos Mortensen is knocked down to just 1.15 million in chips.
