Mouritsen Est Mort

A spot of good luck for David Alaei -- holding {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} he flopped the set and was called all the way down the {10-Spades} {6-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {K-Clubs} board by Rene Mouritsen, who just mucked at the end of the hand. "What's his name?" said a disgruntled but good-humored Mouritsen. "I'm going to look him up."

Mouritsen, utterly crippled, moved all in preflop the very next hand, but there were no callers. A few hands later though his shove-for-a-pittance received the inevitable call and he is a goner.
