The Matador Falls

Carlos Mortensen (Day 3) - Eliminated
Carlos Mortensen (Day 3) - Eliminated

The 2001 World Series of Poker Main Event champion has fallen.

We arrived at the table to see Carlos Mortensen three-bet his stack all in holding {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. He was called by the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} of Maxim Panyak.

The flop brought {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} giving Panyak additional outs to take the lead by making Broadway with a queen. The {q-Diamonds} was exactly what fell on the turn and Mortensen's run at the 2013 PCA Main Event came to an end. The meaningless {9-Clubs} completed the board and Mortensen quickly exited the tournament area.

Busquet Busts James

Ronald James opened to 25,000 from late position, Olivier Busquet three-bet to what looked like 60,000 on his left, and the action folded back to James, who moved all in for 200,000 or so. Busquet snapped it off.

James: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Busquet: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Busquet stared at James, studying his reaction as the dealer fanned {9-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. James wasn't too pleased, but his frown was turned upside down when the {j-Spades} turned, giving him a leading pair of jacks.

Busquet continued to gaze upon James.

The dealer rapped the table one last time, then spiked the {k-Spades} on the river. James shrugged, but didn't move from his chair, and finally Busquet looked at the board to find out he'd won.

After the hand, Busquet admitted that he peaked at the flop because James' reaction was so negative, but he didn't know that James had hit a jack.

Busquet boasted his stack to 880,000 chips, while James is off to collect some cash at the cage.

Nogueira Shoves To Take Five-Way Affair

Joao Nogueira
Joao Nogueira

From early position, Jeremy Kottler raised to 26,000. Joao Nogueira called from middle position, Eddy Sabat called on the button, Manig Loeser called from the small blind, and Mohsin Charania called from the big blind.

The five players witnessed the dealer run out the {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, and action checked to Kottler. He bet 80,000. Immediately, Nogueira raised all in for 438,000. Sabat, Loeser and Charania folded, but Kottler needed some time. He thought for a minute or so, but eventually folded, and Nogueira picked up the pot.

Charania Takes It Down

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Mohsin Charania raised from early position to 25,000, and Joao Nogueira called out of the cutoff seat. Both players then checked the {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop to see the {5-Diamonds} land on the turn. Charania bet 22,000, and Nogueira made the call. The river was the {Q-Spades}, and both players checked.

Nogueira mucked after Charania tabled the {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a pair of tens.

Wong Pushes

The flop read {J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and we found George Clyde-Smith and Jerry Wong looking down at it.

Clyde-Smith led out for 80,000 but soon grew weary when he found Wong move out a raise to 161,000. Clyde-Smith called after about a minute of tanking and the {6-Clubs} came down on fourth street. Clyde-Smith tapped the table and Wong moved 220,000 into the center.

Another minute passed before Clyde-Smith opted to let go of his hand. The pot was pushed to Wong who is now sitting on about 1.165 million in chips. Clyde-Smith, who was once well over one million chips is now at around 970,000.

James Sliding

With 175,000 in the pot and a board reading {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}, Ronald James checked to Anthony Borde, who slid out a bet of 80,000. James wasted little time in calling and then promptly checked the {2-Spades} river. Borde immediately slid out another bet, this time 125,000, and James called after about 20 seconds worth of thought.

It appeared Borde thought he was beat as he sheepishly turned over {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}, but as it turned out his mediocre flush was good as James sent his cards to the muck unseen.
