Carbo Eliminates Mortensen With Stunning Hero-Call
Sebastian Mortensen opened the action with a raise to 120,000 under the gun. It folded to Gerard Carbo in the big blind, who three-bet to 405,000. Mortensen called to the J♥A♠J♦ flop, where Carbo continued for 90,000.
Mortensen slid in another call, seeing Carbo size up to 170,000 on the 3♥ turn. Mortensen switched gears and raised to 475,000. Carbo called after weighing his options, seeing the 5♦ river complete the board.
After Carbo checked, Mortensen moved all in for 735,000. Carbo spent a few minutes in the tank, cutting out a call while counting the rest of his chips. Eventually, he announced a call.
Mortensen could only table a pair of tens with 10♠10♣. Carbo had looked him up with K♥K♦ for a pair of kings, and his daring call awarded him a huge pot to knock Mortensen out of the PokerStars Open.
