No Victory For The Matador

Carlos Mortensen raised it up from the small blind preflop at his four-handed table and got a call from the big blind.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Spades} Carlos bet, the big blind raised, Carlos raised, and the big blind called.

The turn came {5-Clubs} and Carlos bet again, the big blind raised and he called.

On the river {q-Spades} Carlos checked, the big blind bet and Carlos reluctantly called, leaving him with only 50 behind.

The big blind showed {8-Clubs}{6-Spades} for a turned straight and Carlos tossed his {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} into the muck.

The very next hand his 50 chips went into the pot and they didn't hold up. Carlos left in a hurry, no doubt going to late register for the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship.
