Yup, He Got There

Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen
Just before the break Matt Mezdisky raised to 1,200 and Carlos Mortensen called from the small blind. Both players checked the {9-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} flop and when the {4-Hearts} turned Mortensen bet 4,000. Mezdisky called, and he called Mortensen's 10,000 bet as well when the {3-Hearts} fell on the river. Carlos showed {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} and the frustrated Mezdisky said, "Way to get there." He's now down to 33,500 and Mortensen is now up to 115,000, a fact sure to delight those sitting at his table.
