Mortensen Takes a Hit

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Danard Petit open shoved all in for 401,000, and former Main Event champion Carlos Mortensen reraised all in. Everyone else folded, and the players showed their cards:

Mortensen: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Petit: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The flop came {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts}, giving Petit bottom set, and Mortensen was in bad shape in the hand. The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, giving Mortensen extra outs. He would need either an eight for a straight or a nine for a higher set to win. The was the {k-Hearts}, however, and Petit’s set won the hand.

Mortensen is now down to 393,000 in chips, while Petit doubled up to 874,000.
