Mortensen Pays Off Chutrov
Talented Danish pro Morten Mortensen checked from his seat in the cutoff with the flop reading :::Td:::2h:::9s putting the action on the tournament chip leader Daniel Chutrov. A bet of 6,000 left the hands of Chutrov and Mortensen called the bet.
The turn was the :::Js, making the board extremely draw heavy. Mortensen checked again and then called when Chutrov bet 13,500. The river was the :::8c and Mortensen checked for a third time. Chutrov reached for chips and bet 16,000 on the river and after around 30-45 seconds, Motensen called obviously not believing Chutrov had a straight.
Mortensen was correct, Chutrov didn’t have a straight but he did hold :::2s:::2d for a set of deuces, enough to win the pot.
Daniel Chutrov | 532,000 | -7,500 |
Morten Mortensen | 25,000 | -14,800 |
