Mortensen Arrives at Nut House
Carlos Mortensen's seat might have been empty for a lot of the first level, but he's arrived now and spent the time he had building up his stack. Recently he dealt a severe blow to the stack of Elijah Berg. On the river the board stood and Mortensen had bet 10k into a pot of a more than that. Berg thought for a while before calling and Mortensen turned over for the nut full house. Berg showed that he had flopped a set of fives, but Mortensen rivered him with a better full house, hitting a four-outer. Berg dropped to 6,600 while Mortensen rose to 44,000.
