Taking On Two

We don't recognize the middle-aged gentleman in Seat 6 at 357, but he's certainly unafraid of the two pros at his table. We just caught Mr. Unknown in a three-way pot against Kevin MacPhee and Carlos Mortensen.

Unknown: (x-x) / {8-Clubs} {K-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {10-Spades} / (x)
MacPhee: (x-x) / {A-Clubs} {6-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} / (x)
Mortensen: (x-x) / {4-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {J-Spades} / (x)

We walked up on fifth street to see Carlos Mortensen doing the betting. He was called in both spots, and he and MacPhee checked sixth street. They called bets from Mr. Unknown there, and he fired one last bullet on seventh street. Check-fold from MacPhee, check-fold from Mortensen, and that's an easy pot for the gentleman.

Mortensen is getting down there after that pot, slipping back to about 1/3rd of his starting stack.
