Bechtel Can't Hold onto Chips for Long

From the cutoff, Jim Bechtel was first in for 6,000. Carlos Mortensen, who made a miraculous comeback from a stack of just 700 chips yesterday, reraised all in from the big blind for 17,000. Bechtel made the call.

Mortensen stood pat. Bechtel drew two.

Mortensen opened a 9-7 after the draw was completed, prompting Bechtel to fling his cards into the muck. Mortensen is now up to over 41,000 but is still in short stack territory.
