Mortensen-t Feltwards

Carlos Mortensen, who's scaled the heights of prestigious, tough-field, high buy-in, deepstack events in the past, including winning the WPT $25k Final, isn't running so well this time round, down to just 8,800 in level two.

Mortensen called a raise preflop to see a {6-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} flop, on which he check-called another bet, bringing the {7-Clubs} on the turn. Now once more, check-call 2,500, and then a final opportunity arose to check the {K-Diamonds} river. He did so, then went into the tank as his opponent bet 6k. This was a fairly big chunk of his remaining chips, and he really gave it some time before making a fourth and final call.

His opponent showed {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} for the flush, which turned out to be a similar though obviously superior hand to Mortensen's {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} which he flashed the table before shaking his head and throwing them away.
