Kirk Morrison Doubles Thru Amit Makhija

Action folds to Kirk Morrison in the small blind, who glances at his cards, then announces, "More."

Morrison raises to 60,000 and Amit Makhija reraises to 180,000 out of the big blind.  Morrison thinks a minute, then says, "Let’s try this one time," as he makes the minimum raise to 300,000 total.

Makhija eyes Morrison’s stack before asking the dealer, "What’s the minimum I can raise?"

"Hah," blurts out Morrison.  "Are you serious?"  As Makhija counts out chips, Morrison observes, "Typical silverback alpha moment.."  Makhija raises an additional 220,000 and Morrison deliberates a bit before sliding his cards from in front of his chip stack to beside it.

He puts both hands on his five remaining columns of chips and tries to slide his stack forward, but it doesn’t budge.  He readjust his hands, then starts to slide forward his remaining 834,000.

"There’s what I was trying to do," he says as he pushes the stack forward.

Makhija quickly calls and asks, "Do you have kings?’  Makhija turns over his [QsQc] and Morrison shows that Makhija’s read is right and he has [KdKc].  

The board runs out [8d6s2c4h9c] and the kings hold to double Morrison up to over 2 million chips.

Kirk Morrison – 2,160,000 (108 bbs)
Amit Makhija – 555,000 (28 bbs)
