Mortensen Keeps Climbing

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Morten Mortensen raised to 1,100 preflop from early position, and three players called. They all checked to the river with the board reading {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}. After the big blind checked, Mortensen bet 7,500, and all of his opponents reluctantly laid their hands down.

On the next pass by the table, Mortensen was in the small blind and was heads-up with the big blind. The board read {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}, and Mortensen checked to his opponent, who bet 1,200. Mortensen check-raised to 5,100, and his opponent called. The river brought the {q-Hearts}, and Mortensen led out for 8,800. His opponent called, and Mortensen tabled {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a flush to scoop another pot.
