Shuffle Up and Deal!

The players are seated and ready to go, so it's time once again to shuffle up and deal. There are about 39 minutes left at the current level of blinds (150,000-300,000, with a 30,000 ante).

The official chip counts were announced while the crowd was still loud; we're working to get those for you now.

For the record, the 10-minute break lasted about 14 minutes.

Hand #68 - Guy Laliberte has the button in seat 2, Morrison raises under the gun to 700,000, Mortensen moves all in for 1.5 million, and Morrison calls.

Morrison shows {A-Spades}{6-Spades}, but he's dominated by Mortensen's {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. If Mortensen's hand holds up, he'll double up and be back in contention.

The flop comes {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, and it's an excellent flop for Mortensen as both players flop a pair. With no more possibilities for a chopped pot, Morrison has two outs (he needs a six) to eliminate Mortensen.

The turn card is the {3-Diamonds}, and Morrison is down to a single out. (The {6-Diamonds} would give Mortensen a diamond flush.)

The river card is the {Q-Diamonds}, and Carlos Mortensen doubles up in chips.

Hand #69-70

Hand #69 - Carlos Mortensen has the button in seat 3, Lee limps from the small blind for 300,000, and Morrison checks his option. The flop comes {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Lee checks, Morrison bets 300,000, and Lee calls. The turn card is the {J-Hearts}, Lee checks, Morrison bets 1.2 million, and Lee folds. Morrison takes the pot.

Hand #70 - Paul Lee has the button in seat 5, Morrison limps from the small blind for 300,000, and Laliberte checks his option. The flop comes {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{6-Spades}, Morrison bets 400,000, and Laliberte folds 10-3 offsuit face up. Morrison takes the pot.

Carlos Mortensen Has Loud Fans

The crowd got a little rowdy during the last all in hand. A few big named Vegas pros are on the rail sweating their buddy Carlos Mortensen. There's no word on who actually has pieces of Mortensen. The room burst with applause when Mortensen flopped the {10-Diamonds} against Paul Morrison. His railbirds cheered wildly when his hand held up and he doubled up against Morrison.
