Carlos Mortensen

Hand #68 - Guy Laliberte has the button in seat 2, Morrison raises under the gun to 700,000, Mortensen moves all in for 1.5 million, and Morrison calls.

Morrison shows {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{6-Spades}

, but he's dominated by Mortensen's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

. If Mortensen's hand holds up, he'll double up and be back in contention.

The flop comes {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

, and it's an excellent flop for Mortensen as both players flop a pair. With no more possibilities for a chopped pot, Morrison has two outs (he needs a six) to eliminate Mortensen.

The turn card is the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

, and Morrison is down to a single out. (The {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

would give Mortensen a diamond flush.)

The river card is the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

, and Carlos Mortensen doubles up in chips.
