Mortensen Over 100k

Facing a raise to 3,500, Carlos Mortensen made the call from the cutoff to see a {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop fall.

The preflop aggressor continued for 5,000 only to have Mortensen min-raise it to 10,000.

After some deliberation, Mortensen's opponent made the call as the {8-Diamonds} landed on the turn and he checked over to the 2001 WSOP Champion.

"I move all in" uttered Mortensen in his heavy Spanish accent.

With Mortensen having roughly 62,000 behind, he well and truly covered his opponent and his last 20,000.

A minute went by and Mortensen's opponent made the call.

Mortensen: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The river landed the {A-Diamonds} to see Mortensen eliminate his opponent and move to 111,000 in chips.
