Paul Lee raises to 200,000, and Carlos Mortensen calls from the big blind. The flop comes {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades}, and both players check. The turn card is the {Q-Diamonds}, Mortensen checks, Lee bets 400,000, and Mortensen calls. The river card is the {9-Clubs}, Mortensen checks, Lee bets 1 million, Mortensen raises to 2 million, and Lee thinks for about two minutes before folding.

Carlos Mortensen takes the 3.2 million pot, increasing his stack to over 6.5 million. Paul Lee drops down to about 10.2 million.

Carlos Mortensen raised to 200,000 from early position. Thomas Wahlroos called and Guy Laliberte called from the big blind. The flop was {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Wahlroos checked, Laliberte checked, and Mortensen bet 500,000. Wahlroos moved all-in and Mortensen insta-called. Mortensen showed the {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} for a set of aces, while Wahlroos showed the {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for top pair and the nut flush draw. The turn was the {7-Spades}, giving a full house to Mortensen and Wahlroos was drawing dead. The meaningless {2-Hearts} fell on the river and Mortensen doubled up.

After the hand, Mortensen was up to 5.6M in chips while Wahlroos dropped to 4M.
