Morse Off to a Good Start

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Sandra Morse raised to 600 from middle position only to have Carlos Pal three-bet to 1,800 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Morse and she called to see a {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop.

Morse check-called a bet of 1,200 and then both players checked the {8-Spades} turn.

When the {4-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Morse led out for 2,500 and that did the trick as Pal released his hand.

First Bounty Falls

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Kyle Anderson
Kyle Anderson

We missed the first bounty elimination but did learn some details after the fact.

Over at Table 26, pro bounty Kyle Anderson got his stack in with top set against the flush draw of Steven Nevius. The latter made his flush and collected $300 for the deed.

Anderson has the option to re-enter the tournament, but if he does there will not be another bounty.
