Mortensen Kisses a Few Chips Goodbye, Mordoff-Gerin Collects
With the board showing 
and a sizable pot having already developed, Carlos Mortensen checked and his opponent, Rebecca Mordoff-Gerin, pushed out a bet of 6,000. Mortensen picked calling chips off of his stack, paused a beat, then tossed them into the middle, holding them before his lips before he did as if kissing them goodbye.
Mordoff-Gerin tabled her hand -- 
-- and Mortensen nodded in recognition, tossing his cards face down dealerward. Mordoff-Gerin now has 48,500, while the Matador has slipped down below 18,000.
