Mortensen Won't Fold Queens

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

We picked up the action on a {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} | {10-Clubs} board and the big blind checked to Carlos Mortensen. The Spanish 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event champion bet out 600. His opponent made it 1,800 and Mortensen made the call. The river was the {7-Hearts} and the big blind now bet out 2,500. Mortensen muted his music and gave it some deep thoughts. A minute or two passed but eventually Mortensen tossed in two yellow one thousand chips and a purple five hundred to make the call.

Mortensen was welcomed with a double check of the cards by the big blind. At first he wanted to muck it seemed, but in the end the big blind opened {K-Spades}{7-Spades}. Mortensen showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and took down the sizable pot.
