Sebastian Mortensen Eliminated in 12th Place (€11,031)
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Sebastian Mortensen and Jonas Kronwitter built a pot of around 300,000 as they went heads-up to a flop of J♣8♦4♦. Both players then checked to the 9♣ turn.
Kronwitter bet 275,000 from the cutoff and Mortensen moved all in for 905,000 from the small blind. "Queens with a flush draw?" Kronwitter wondered as he tanked for a minute. He eventually called, having Mortensen barely covered.
Mortensen showed 10♣7♣6♦5♦ for a straight and flush draw, while Kronwitter had J♦10♦10♠7♥ for the same straight and a better flush draw. The 9♦ fell on the river to give both players their flush, but Kronwitter's jack earned him the massive pot and sent Mortensen, playing his first Omaha tournament ever, to the rail in 12th place.
