Mortensen Rivers a Straight to Double

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Carlos Mortensen doubles up.
Carlos Mortensen doubles up.

Jorn Walthaus raised to 1250,000 from middle position, and Carlos Mortensen shipped all in after it folded to his big blind. Walthaus snap-called, tabling {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}, while Mortensen held {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

The flop brought some extra outs for Mortensen: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The turn was a {6-Clubs}, and Mortensen needed an ace or a jack to survive. The former world champion found his {j-Clubs} on the river, completing his broadway straight for a double.
