Mortensen Lays It Down

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Carlos Mortensen raised from middle position to 1,700 and a woman sitting to his left three-bet him to 4,500. It folded back around to Mortensen and he made the call.

The flop was {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Mortensen checked. His opponent bet 5,400 and Mortensen called. The turn was the {9-Clubs} and again Mortensen checked before she led for 12,200. The river was the {3-Clubs}, completing a four flush, and Mortensen led out this time for 17,000. Mortensen's opponent thought for a bit before moving all in for 63,000. Mortensen had the chips counted out and ready to slide in but eventually opted to muck his hand. He slips to 70,000.
