Day 1a Chip Leader Morten Mortensen Drops One, But Still Healthy
Level 6
: 300/600, 100 ante
One player opened to 1,500 from the cutoff before he was three-bet by Morten Mortensen from the button. Mortensen made it 4,200 and his opponent called.
The flop came 
and Mortensen's opponent checked it over to him. Mortensen put out a repeat bet of 4,200 and the player made a pained face, then called.
The turn was the 
and both players checked to see the 
on the river. There, the cutoff player bet 6,000 and Mortensen thought for a bit, then called. The player showed 
for a turned set and a rivered full house and that was good to get a muck from Mortensen.
Mortensen is still healthy despite losing that pot, supporting a chip stack well over 200,000.
