Mortensen Squeezes Into the Cash

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With the bubble at hand, and seconds before the floor announced that dealers should halt play after their current hands, Steven Mortensen moved all in with 157,000.

When Christopher Bissinger, seated to his immediate left, raised all-in on top, Mortensen panicked.

"Those were not the words I wanted to hear," he said.

No one else called and Mortensen was in jeopardy of getting bounced from the tournament just shy of the cash.

Christopher Bissinger: QQ

The runout of AA327 went quite well for Mortensen, who doubled up to stayed alive in the tournament.
