Morton Doubles Again!
Level 24
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
In late position, Mike Morton opened to 52,000, and Frank Hernandez was the lone caller, matching the bet to see a flop from the small blind.
It came , and the action check-checked to the turn. That cued a leading bet of 60,000 from Hernandez, and Morton was right there with the call. The on the river put trips on board, and Hernandez kept the heat on with another bet -- 95,000 this time. He looked a bit surprised when Morton raised all in for 366,000 total, but Hernandez called to see what was what.
It was aces. Morton tabled for the nut full house, and that gets him a big double up to 990,000. It's a big blow to Hernandez's stack, and "gator93" is left with about 340,000 chips now.
