Back to Omaha-8 now and Carlos Mortensen opened the action with a raise from middle position before Phil Ivey re-raised from the cutoff. The blinds folded and Mortensen popped it up again with Ivey making the call.

The flop fell {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

and Mortensen fired out a bet with Ivey making the call. The turn was the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

and this time Mortensen check-called the bet from Ivey.

The river brought the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

and again Mortensen checked, Ivey bet and Mortensen called.

Ivey tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

which was good as Mortensen mucked. Ivey is now up to 310,000 chips.
