Mortensen Mucks Part II

Omaha-8

This has not been a great round for Carlos Mortensen. On an {a-Hearts} {9-Spades} {4-Diamonds} flop, Ian Gordon checked, and Matt Glantz bet. Mortensen and Gordon both called. They repeated the action on the {8-Clubs} turn. The river brought another low card, the {5-Diamonds} , and Ian checked again. Glantz bet, and Mortensen folded as he grimaced and slammed his last 85k down in front of him. Gordon called and showed {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {2-Spades} {2-Clubs} to take the low half. Glantz took the high with {a-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} . for aces and eights.

After the hand, Marco Johnson told Gordon, "If you check-raise there, he folds." Glantz agreed, adding "unless I have a wheel, and then you can fold to the three-bet."

A hand later, Mortensen raised to 80,000, and in the big blind, Richard Ashby three-bet to get Mortensen's last 5,000 in the middle. Time to turn 'em up.

Mortensen: {a-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs}
Ashby: {j-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} {4-Hearts}
