Tommy Vu Makes a Huge Laydown

Carlos Mortensen raised to 120,000 from UTG, Kirk Morrison called from middle position and Tommy Vu called from the button. The flop was a very dangerous {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. Mortensen took almost two minutes to bet out 300,000 on the flop, Morrison folded, and Vu went into the tank for several minutes before finally folding. Shortly after the hand, he told us he laid down K-Q. Mortensen won a 460,000 pot.
