Aces Hold There?!

A player in early position limped into the pot to open the action, and Casey Kastle and one other player followed suit. That brought the action to Carlos Mortensen, and he squeezed in a pot-sized raise to 3,300. Both the initial limper and Kastle called, while the fourth player elected to duck out right there.
Three-handed, the flop came 
, and the first player checked. Kastle bet 13,000, and that was enough to cover both opponents. Mortensen called all in for 11,300, and the third player did the same for his last 8,000. Cards up, gents:
Kastle: 
(nut flush draw)
Mortensen: 
(overpair)
Opponent: 
(trouble)
The turn 
kept Mortensen safe, and the river 
was kind to him as well. His aces hold to earn him a much-needed pot, moving his stack all the way up to 40,800.
