Mighty Mortensen

Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen
An early position player opened with a raise to 750, before Carlos Mortensen raised it up to 2,000 from late position. The player on the button made the call, as did the EP player.

They took a flop {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and the action checked to Mortensen who fired out a bet of 4,000. The player on the button moved all in for a total of 6,200. The EP player folded and Mortensen called.

Mortensen: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Button: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The turn and river blanked {9-Spades}, {J-Hearts} and Mortensen jumps back up to 25,000 chips.
