2001 Main Event Champ Carlos Mortensen Eliminated

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen

Carlos Mortensen came into Day 4 very short but did manage to pick up a double up. A couple hands later though, Mortensen put himself at risk again.

Mortensen moved all in with {q-Clubs}{3-Spades} and was called by a player with {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Mortensen nailed the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, making trip queens but poker is cruel and running hearts with the {5-Hearts} on the turn and {k-Hearts} on the river gave his opponent a flush and sent Mortensen to the payout desk.
