Hoa Nguyen Cripples Carlos Mortensen

Nguyen raised to 15K in the small blind and Mortensen called in the big. The flop came {J-Hearts}

and Mortensen called Nguyen's 30K bet. When the {K-Diamonds}

hit on the turn Nguyen checked, Mortensen bet 40,000 and Nguyen check-raised to 100K. Mortensen called, and when the {7-Hearts}

fell on the river they checked it down. Nguyen showed {J-Spades}

for the flopped two pair and Mortensen mucked. That pot lifted him to 800,000 and dropped the 2001 World Champion down to 180K.
