Mortensen Holds With Top Set For a Massive Double
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of J?8?5?, Sebastian Mortensen bet 22,000 from the cutoff before Arturo Paduano raised to 160,000 in the big blind. Mortensen then moved all in for 614,000 and Paduano called.
Sebastian Mortensen: J?J?10?9? 
Arturo Paduano: A?10?7?3?
Mortensen showed top set, while Paduano was on the nut flush draw and a straight draw. The 3? was safe for Mortensen, while the 6? fell on the river to secure him the more than 1,200,000-chip pot and vault him into the chip lead.
"This is the first Omaha tournament in my life," Mortensen said.
