Several thousand went into the middle on the {k-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} flop. Then the {j-Diamonds} turn was Carlos Mortensen's cue to move all in for 4,200. Barry Woods called with a flopped two pair to see that Mortensen had out-turned him with {q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} . The {6-Diamonds} river didn't change anything, and Mortensen doubled to 13,000. Woods is down to 7,000 in the second game.
