Star-studded Hand Won by a Champ

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Picking up the action on the {6-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop, Andrew Frankenberger, Carlos Mortensen and Sam Trickett all checked in that order.

The turn would begin to heat things up when the {7-Clubs} fell. Frankenberger checked to Mortensen who fired out 3,500 and got one caller in Sam Trickett. The river was the {A-Clubs} and Mortensen raised his bet slightly to 4,500 this time. Trickett moved all in for 23,100 which covered his opponent and Mortensen made the call with {A-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Trickett showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for just a pair of Jacks and Mortensen shipped the pot.

He is now up to 44,000 while Trickett has fallen to 12,700.
