Morris Risks It All With Huge Bluff
Lou Garza raised to 1.8 million with A?A?10?6?, and was called by Arthur Morris with 10?9?7?5?.
The flop came 2?3?4? which led to two checks. The J? turn brought with it a bet of 2.2 million from Morris despite having only a draw. Garza did decide to come along.
The river came the 5?, and Garza's aces remained the best hand. Morris, having only a pair of fives, announced pot and went all in for 8.25 million. Garza would win the tournament with a call, but would need to see through his opponent's bluff.
Garza confirmed with the dealer that Morris was all in. He shuffled his chips as he thought aloud. After thinking for around three minutes, Garza folded. "Nice hand, buddy," he said to Morris. "Nice bluff."
Morris slammed his hand face up to show the bluff as his rail cheered. "That's the f***ing bluff," he told his supporters. "Pure zero."
