Stud:
We caught the action as Carlos "The Matador" Mortensen and one opponent were involved in a hand of seven card stud.
Mortensen: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) - 
- (X)
The Matador bet 1,200 on third street and was raised to 2,400 by his opponent. Mortensen came along and slowed down on fourth street, checking the action. His opponent fired a bet of 2,400 at the tournament veteran and Mortensen made the call. The action repeated itself on sixth street and after the last down card was dealt, Mortensen's opponent pushed all in for his last few chips.
The two-time bracelet winner looked his man up and tabled the 
for an ace-high flush, while his opponent could only show down the 
for a pair of aces. The opponent was eliminated and Mortensen built his stack to over 39,000 chips.
