Padraig Parkinson has fallen to the unstoppable force that is Carlos Mortensen.
Mortensen opened to 4,000 and was called in one spot before Parkinson three-bet all-in for 22,400. Mortensen called to set up the showdown.

We don't know how the action went, but a super short stacked Ben Jenkins was all in and at risk by Jeff Madsen. Madsen's 
held a slight advantage over Jenkin's
