Mortensen Out in Two Hands
About 30 minutes ago on the televised feature table, Andrejs Punka opened to 30,000 from the button. Morten Mortensen three-bet to 78,000 from the small blind before Punka four-bet jammed for 365,000.
Mortensen called and it looked like he was in good shape to win a decent pot after he turned over 
and his opponent turned over 
.
Tides quickly changed after Punka hit top pair on the 
flop. Mortensen was unable to get back into the hand with the 
appearing on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
The next hand, Peter Pihlstrom opened up to 28,000 with 
from late position before Mortensen got the rest of his 58,000 chip stack in the middle. Pihlstrom called and it was off to the races again.
Peter Pihlstrom:
Morten Mortensen: 
Mortensen was unable to hit any of the 
board and was eliminated in 20th place.
