Mortensen Builds Stack

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Within two hands, Morten Mortensen has been able to build his stack significantly. In the first hand he raised from under the gun and found a caller in Morten Klein. On the {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} turn, Mortensen check-called a bet worth 1,500 and did so again after the {4-Diamonds} river for 2,500.

Klein showed {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Mortensen had the better kicker with {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

Soon after, the Dane flopped middle set with pocket fours on a four-way flop. Only one opponent stuck around and called the bets of Mortensen and that was Joao Rodrigues. The latter obliged on the {6-} turn and {A-} river, but mucked when he was shown the set by Mortensen.
