Mortensen Takes Lee to Value Town

Level 6 : 300/600, 50 ante

Action was on the turn with a board of {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Morten Mortensen was first to act from middle position. With a pot of about 9,000 in the middle of the table, Mortensen put out a bet of 6,000. Andy Lee, his only opponent, decided to call to see the river.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and Mortensen decided to bet again. This time he made it 8,500. Lee tanked for a bit but eventually landed on call. Mortensen quickly tabled his {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and his two pair was good enough to earn him the pot as Lee just mucked.

With that, Mortensen climbed to over 70,000 chips while Lee was left with a still healthy stack of around 115,000.
