Brutal Cooler Sends "The Matador" to the Rail

Carlos Mortensen - Eliminated
Carlos Mortensen - Eliminated
Carlos Mortensen just went broke when he pushed the last of his chips into the middle on a flop of {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {2-Spades}. Mortensen, who was relatively deep stacked, looked to double up when he got a caller.

Unfortunately for "The Matador," his {2-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} was no good. His opponent, Grant Hillman, rolled over {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} for top set leaving Mortensen drawing to the case deuce or running hearts.

Neither came and Mortensen hit the rail.
