Mortensen Flushed With Success

Carlos Mortensen

Carlos Mortensen raised it up to 900 preflop from early position before Matt Mezdinsky made it 3,100 to go from the small blind. Mortensen made the call.

They took a flop of {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Mezdinsky led out for 5,100 with Mortensen making the call. The turn brought the {A-Clubs} and this time Mezdinsky checked it over to Mortensen who fired out 11,000. Mezdinsky made the call.

The river paired the board with the {8-Spades} slowing down both players as they checked their hands. Mortensen showed a surprising {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the flopped flush to jump up to 72,000 while Mezdinsky slipped to 58,000.
