Carlos Mortensen completed and Phil Ivey made the call. On fourth Mortensen fired, with Ivey taking the lead on fifth and sixth, before Mortensen put in a raise. Ivey deliberated for some time before calling and checking the river in the dark. Mortensen checked behind and the cards were revealed:

Ivey: ( {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

)

{5-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

Mortensen: (X-X-X) {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

Mortensen cringed when he saw Ivey's cards as he couldn't better two pair and mucked. Ivey is now up to 1.61 million with Mortensen down to 560,000.
