Tyler Morris Off to Slow Start
Apr 11, '15
On a flop of A95, Tyler Morris checked out of the big blind and the button bet 300. Morris check-called and the turn was the 10. Morris check-called again, after the button bet 600 and the dealer peeled off the 8 on the river.
Morris quickly glanced at his chips and then hesitated for a few moments before tossing a yellow, 1,000 denomination chip into the middle. The button doesn’t wait too long before reaching for his chips and raised to 2,500.
“Will you show me if I fold?”asked Morris. “Did you get lucky on the river?”
The button didn’t respond and Morris shook his head and mucked his hand. He dropped to 17,200 after the pot was pushed to the button.
Morris is looking for another deep run in Choctaw. He won the 2013 WSOP Circuit Main Event for over $369,000 and followed that up with a fifth place finish for $46,218 in this event last year.
