Erasmus Morfe may have been third in chips at the dinner break on Day 6 of the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event, but he was second-to-none on the best names leaderboard. In any other context, one may have mistaken him for a football player in Key & Peele’s East/West College Bowl sketch.

The man who shall be named was a relative unknown in the poker world with just four live tournament cashes on his record adding up to just $19,553. One of those cashes did come in the World Series of Poker, when he finished 783rd in the Millionaire Maker in 2014.

Away from the poker tables, Morfe is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, receiving his medical degree from Michigan State University. He completed his internship at Botsford General Hospital in Farmington Hills, Michigan and went on to residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. After that, he went to the Mayo Clinic for his fellowship in sports medicine.

As of 2015, Dr. Morfe worked at Interwest Rehabilitation in Littleton, Colorado, where he specialized in general musculoskeletal medicine and interventional pain management.

One of Morfe’s most significant hands of Day 6 came relatively early. He raised to 125,000 pre-flop and called after Josh Beckley three-bet to 320,000. On the flop of Tc-2h-Qh, Morfe check-called a bet of 280,000 and then check-called another bet of 430,000 when the Kd came on the turn. It was same pattern on the river 6s, this time for 1.075 million. Beckley revealed 6c-5c, but Morfe showed Ac-Qs for a better pair. That pot took Morfe’s stack to almost 8 million chips.

He exited the Main Event in 19th place for $262,000.
