: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Carlos Mortensen raised to 5,400 from the cutoff, and action folded around to Brandan Zaucha in the big blind. Zaucha thought for a minute, and as he did so, Mortensen put on his sunglasses. Zaucha chuckled and asked the 2001 Main Event Champion, "So now it's serious? Now I call," and he pushed chips forward. The flop came 
, and Zaucha checked. Mortensen continued for 6,600, and Zaucha called. Both players checked the 
on the turn, and then the 
came on the river. Both players checked again, and Zaucha turned over 
for second-pair on the flop. Mortensen slid his cards to the dealer, and Zaucha took the pot.
After the hand, Zaucha was up to 134,000, while still has 325,000.
