Players had just reached the money when the two largest stacks collided. The pot between Jared Ingles and Arthur Morris would be an inflection point in the PLO High Roller.
There was an open in front of Arthur Morris on the button. Morris flatted and Jared Ingles defended his big blind.
The flop came down 7♦6♦2♥. Ingles led for pot and within seconds the preflop aggressor was folded out and all the chips were in the middle between Ingles and Morris.
Ingles: Q♥8♠5♠4♥
Morris: A♦J♦9♠4♦
Board: 7♦6♦2♥K♠K♥
Ingles flopped a 3-card wrap and backdoor hearts. Morris had the diamond nut flush draw with three over cards. Running kings provided no improvement to either player and Ingles collected the min cash in 5th place.
It was Morris' tournament now; he had over 1.6 million in front of him with just 2.1 million in play. Morris had just knocked out the next biggest stack. The remaining players were now handcuffed with short stacks and ICM pressure.
