Huge Pot to the Godfather

Limit Hold'em:

Carlos Mortensen probably wishes he had just sent presto into the muck. But he didn't - he raised it pre-flop, then called a three-bet from the "godfather of poker", Doyle Brunson. Mortensen then check-called a single bet on a flop of {5-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}.

On the turn {q-Clubs} it seemed like there would be no end to the raising. Brunson managed to put the fifth bet in after a series of raises. Mortensen called, then check-called one last bet on the {k-Spades} river. Brunson turned over {j-Clubs} {j-Hearts}, a set of jacks. He caught a great flop against Mortensen, who flashed {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}, a set of fives, before mucking.

Brunson now has 390,000 chips. Mortensen is down to 120,000.
