Mortensen Busts In Massive Pot

We caught the action on a board reading {2-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. The full turn action is unknown but eventually Eugene Katchalov forced Carlos Mortensen to put in his remaining stack that still stood at over 80,000 on the turn. Mortensen decided to call and tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for top pair and the nut flush draw. However, Katchalov was in good shape with a set of queens and held on when the {9-Spades} hit the river.

That hand ends Mortensen's run while Katchalov jumps up to the top of the leaderboard with 210,000.
