Less for Mordue

James Mordue
James Mordue
Jose Santos open-raised under the gun to a healthy 25,000. James Mordue gave him action on the button to go heads up to a flop of {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {4-Spades}. Both players checked, and the turn brought the {8-Clubs}. After another check from the raiser, Mordue elected to fire a bet of 35,000 at the pot.

Santos quickly called that bet, and the river came the {K-Diamonds}. Santos tapped the felt, and Mordue tried again, betting 66,000 this time. Santos asked how much and quickly made the call.

"It's good," said Mordue, reluctant to turn over his hand. The table wouldn't let him get away with it though, and Mordue tabled a useless {2-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, playing the board. Santos flipped over his {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} with a loud, "Pasame la salsa!" The sauce was indeed passed to him, and he picks up a nice pot to move up close to 500,000.

That slip knocks Mordue down to about 260,000.
