90 Hands of Heads-Up

Has it been 90 hands already? The chiplead has swung back and forth several times. Mortensen still looks calm and cool. However, Morrison looks like a wreck. His passive play is costing him a shot at winning the WPT Championship. Mortensen's fearlessness is his biggest asset at this point in the tournament.
