Carlos Mortensen Treading Water

Carlos Mortensen has won back-to-back hands to keep him in the tournament. Mortensen was extremely crippled and all in in the blind when he went up against Eli Elezra. Both men drew one card and Mortensen's queen bested Elezra's ace for him stay alive. The next hand, Mortensen was all in again, this time against Tom Schneider. Not unlike the previous hand, both men drew a single card. Mortensen probably wish he had had more chips when he turned up the {8-?} {6-?} {5-?} {4-?} {2-?}. He doubled up again and is still very much on life support with less than 10,000 chips.
