Mortensen Holds With Top Set For a Massive Double
Niveau 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.
