Mortensen Makes a Big (Incorrect?) Fold

There was a board of {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} out when we caught a peek at the Red section's featured table. Carlos Mortensen was the one doing the betting, carefully plucking 3,500 chips from his ornate fortress and flicking them into the pot. His opponent promptly raised to 15,200 total, and that took Mortensen aback. He tanked for a long while, eventually asking, "If I fold, you show?"

"No," his opponent said flatly, but Mortensen folded anyways, flashing {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} in the process! That surprised everyone at the table, most notably the raiser.

"I thought I had you beat but I didn't."
