Mortensen Can't Call

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Carlos Mortensen opened for 5,000 from middle position and got called in three spots, including the small blind. The flop ran out {2-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{2-Spades} and the small blind checked, which brought a 10,000 c-bet from Mortensen. The two middle position players called and the small blind folded.

The turn came the {4-Diamonds} and everyone checked.

The {K-Diamonds} landed the river, double-pairing the board and completing the flush draw. Mortensen checked, as did the player beside him. However, the third player went all-in for his last 25,000. Mortensen looked like he wanted to call, but instead folded, as did the other player.

"I couldn't call with the player behind me," Mortensen said.

Mortensen stack is still healthy at 140,000.
