Mortensen Loses Some

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

The player in middle position opened to 350, before Carlos Mortensen bumped it up to 750. The action folded back around to the original raiser, who contemplated his decision, before just making the call, leaving 725 in chips behind.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, as Mortensen’s opponent quickly committed his remaining chips, which was called.

Mortensen: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Mortensen had been out-flopped, and couldn’t improve, as the board ran out the {8-Hearts} and {5-Hearts}.
