A Double for the Matador

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

Nicolas Yunis raised to 4,900 before Carlos Mortensen moved all in for 30,300. The call was made by Yunis and the hands were turned face up.

Yunis: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Mortensen: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop was {4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} which directly improved Mortensen's hand to a pair of queens. The {a-Spades} turn left Yunis with just the two remaining sevens and the {q-Spades} river was not one of them.

Mortensen now has 63,000 while Yunis has 112,000.
