Morgan Takes a Hit

Level 15: 2,500-5,000, 500 ante

Jordan Morgan raises to 13,000 from under the gun is called by Leonid Lerner, Corey Hochman and Phil Ivey in the small blind.

On a flop of 3diamond3heart2heart Ivey checks to Morgan who leads out for 31,500. Lerner folds but Hochman calls. Ivey gets out of the way and the Kclub hits on the turn. Morgan checks this time and calls when Hochman puts out a small bet.

The Aclub falls on the river and Morgan again checks. Hochman takes his time deciding his move, then bets 66,000. Morgan quickly calls and mucks just as quickly when Hochman shows 2club2spade for the full house.

Hochman's stack is now at 355,000 and Morgan's dropped to 625,000.

During the last minute of the last level to register, three high profile poker stars took their seats:  Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey and Tom "Durrrr" Dwan.

Hellmuth arrived escorted by the Royal Flush Girls and a camera crew filming his every move, while Dwan and Ivey made a quiet entrance, simply placing their chips at their seats and striking up a conversation with one another.
