There was a bet and a call on a {K-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop in a pot between Morten Mortensen and one other opponent. The turn was the {3-Hearts}, and that led to a check from both players. On the {10-Spades} river, Mortensen bet 8,200, which represented a significant portion of his opponent's stack. The player didn't take too long to call.

Mortensen showed {A-Spades}{9-Spades} for ace-high. His opponent, though, showed {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} for a slightly better ace-high. Mortensen's face showed a look of surprise upon seeing his opponent's hand.

"Nice call," Mortensen said as his opponent scooped the pot.
