Carlos Plays Small Ball

Carlos Mortensen was moved to the table right in front of us about an hour ago. He has been playing classic small ball ever since he got here, raising and winning many small pots and staying out of big confrontations. Its not like this is an easy table, not with Gavin Griffin, Phil Hellmuth and James Lee.
