The Matador Charges into the Round of 32

Carlos Mortensen saved the best run-good for the end. Queen-ten was very, very good to him in his match against Sam Trickett. He went with it for the final hand of the match, when short-stacked Trickett pushed with {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Mortensen's {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} rivered a Broadway straight, {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{a-Diamonds}. That was all she wrote for Trickett, who despite this early exit is still off to a great start in 2011.
