The pros are continuing to show the amateurs how poker is really played. Carlos Mortensen called a raise to 300 from a middle-position player. The small blind also called for a three-handed flop of {4-Spades}{K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. The preflop raiser bet 400. Only Mortensen called for a total pot heading into the turn of 1,800. The turn {7-Clubs} brought a bet of 500 from the preflop raiser, and without missing a beat, Mortensen raised to 3,000. His opponent quickly folded.

Mortensen's stack is now at about 5,300.
