Mortensen Loses Four-Bet Pot
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Dan Owen raised to 6,000 from early position, and Carlos Mortensen reraised to 16,000 from the cutoff. The button came over the top with a cold four-bet to 36,000, and Owen got out of the way. Mortensen made the call, and the players watched the 
flop. Both players checked, and a 
fell on the turn. Mortensen checked once more, but this time his opponent bet 29,000. Mortensen called, and the dealer placed a 
as the river card. Mortensen checked again, staring at his opponent, who bet 62,000 on the end.
Mortensen called, and his opponent quickly tabled 
for the nut straight. Mortensen tossed his cards into the air towards the muck, and the 
came down face-up.
