Mortensen Hanging On

When you're all in before the draw in deuce-to-seven, you hope that you draw well. Barring that, you hope that your opponent draws worse than you do. That was the case for Carlos Mortensen, who got his last 6,400 in and drew one. He made a queen-ten. That was the best hand after his opponent also drew one and paired nines.

Mortensen is still on life support with just 14,000 chips.
