Emmerson and Morris On the Rise
In three-way action to the K♥9♣3♣ flop, Krasimir Yankov in the big blind and Arthur Morris from under the gun checked. Robert Emmerson bet 10,000 on the button and Yankov was the only caller. Yankov check-called another 26,000 on the 5♠ turn and checked the 6♥ river.
Emmerson bet 66,000 and Yankov instantly tossed in a single chip for the call. The A♠9♥7♣4♠ of Emmerson won the pot with a seven-high straight as Yankov only flashed his cards to Morris with a grin on the face.
Soon after that, Morris tangled with Aaron Mermelstein in another larger pot. Morris led the K♥9♥9♣ flop for 30,000 and Mermelstein called. The 6♠ turn brought a check-call by Morris for 45,000 and he led again the 3♠ on the river for 104,000.
Mermelstein used one time bank and folded.
"I might want that hat back," George Wolff said. He has apparently loaned his lucky white construction worker hat to Morris the day before in the $5,000 satellite when Morris had been short stack, after which both then won their entry at a bargain.
