Mortensen Can't Quite Squeeze It Out

The Cinderella story for Carlos Mortensen ends just a few spots short of the money. After David Benyamine raised to 15,000, Mortensen put the rest of his chips in. Unfortunately for him, Erick Lindgren, yet to act, pushed out two stacks of pink (T5,000) chips to chase everyone else out of the pot. Lindgren obviously stood pat, and show 9-7-6. Mortensen drew one, exposing 8-7-5-2 prior to the draw. He bricked with a king and is out of the tournament.
