Morgan Rockets to a Double

Level 34 : 250,000/500,000, 0 ante
James Morgan
James Morgan

Limit Hold'em

James Morgan raised from the button and Jason Daly defended his big blind.

On the {5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Daly checked, Morgan bet, and Daly came back with a raise. Morgan called, leaving himself 75,000 behind, and they saw the {q-Clubs} turn.

Morgan got the rest of his chips in the middle and turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. Daly had {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a pair of deuces and a flush draw.

The river came the {j-Spades} and Daly shot back in frustration upon missing his draw as Morgan stayed alive.

"Ok, Just a Call"

Level 34 : 250,000/500,000, 0 ante

Stud 8 or Better

James Morgan: {x-}{x-}/{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}/{x-}
Steven Albini: {x-}{x-}/{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}/{x-}

It's all about Steven Albini as of late as he's winning almost every important pot.

In this hand, Albini raised and James Morgan three-bet Albini four-bet and Morgan called.

Then on fourth and fifth street, Morgan bet and each time, Albini simply uttered, "Ok, just a call."

Until sixth street when Morgan bet and Albini raised. It took two minutes for Morgan to consider the situation and he eventually fold.

Seven Card Stud

Steven Albini: {x-}{x-}/{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Jason Daly: {x-}{x-}/{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} - folded

Jason Daly completed before James Morgan raised. Steven Albini re-raised and both opponents called to fourth street.

Albini bet out again as Morgan and Daly both called. On fifth street, Albini put out another bet and Daly quickly folded.

Morgan, though, spent a few minutes in the tank, spying Albini's remaining chip stack, before he too gathered his cards and tossed them back to the dealer.

Albini, Again And Again

Level 34 : 250,000/500,000, 0 ante

Razz

After lots of raises, Steven Albini managed to get all of his chips against Jason Daly pretty early in this hand.

Steven Albini: {2-}{3-}{4-}{7-}{8-}{q-}{q-}
Jason Daly: {4-}{6-}{q-}{j-}{x-}{x-}{x-}

The cards were slung put quick and there was no way to catch the rest of the cards of Daly, who immediately turned them down when he saw Albini's had made an eighty-seven.

Level 34 : 250,000/500,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold'em

Steven Albini raised and both Jason Daly and Jason Morgan called.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Albini continued with a bet. Daly raised, Morgan folded, and Albini called.

Knocked down to less than 1,000,000, Albini raised from the button in a hand of Omaha 8 or Better, leaving himself 100,000 behind, and both players called.

He put his last chips in on the {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop and Morgan and Daly called, then checked down the {8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} turn and river.

Albini showed {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for two pair, while Daly took the low with {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.
