Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Picking up the action with a completed board of {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} spread across the felt, Morten Mortensen was facing a bet of 31,800 from his opponent in the big blind. There was already around 40,000 in the middle and Mortensen went into the tank for a couple of minutes.

Mortensen counted out his chips and then announced all in for 103,700. His opponent leaned back in his chair and let out a big sigh. He also thought for a minute before announcing a call. Mortensen tabled {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a six-high straight while his opponent could only muster {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for a five-high straight.
