Level 11
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

The turn was the , making the board extremely draw heavy. Mortensen checked again and then called when Chutrov bet 13,500. The river was the 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 for a set of deuces, enough to win the pot.
