Good Start for Mortensen

Carlos Mortensen raised from the cutoff and was immediately met with a three-bet from Darren Elias on the button. The blinds got out of the way as Mortensen made the call. After the flop came down {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, Mortensen check-raised his opponent, Elias called, and Mortensen bet in the dark before seeing the {K-Hearts} peel off on the turn.

From there, Elias called, Mortensen again bet dark, the {9-Clubs} appeared on the river, and Elias gave up on the hand. Pot to the 2011 WSOP Main Event Champ!

Meanwhile, Jerrod Ankenman has been eliminated from the tournament.
