Too Many Outs for Mordenti
Level 12: Blinds 2,000/4,000/4,000
On a heads-up turn of 4♣9♣K♠10♥, the pot had around 60,000 in it when Danny Smith moved all in for 54,000 and the pressure was on Josh Mordenti.
After some moments in thought, Mordenti shrugged and made the call to put Smith at risk.
Danny Smith: J♦J♣
Josh Mordenti: 7♣8♣
Smith was in the lead with his pocket jacks but needed to dodge the straight and flush combo draw of Mordenti.
Miraculously, the river fell the brick 3♦ and Smith was awarded the sizeable pot for a double up while Mordenti was left short.
"Better be careful walking home," Smith jested, "You don't seem too lucky tonight."
"That's ok, I just have to make it upstairs," Mordenti laughed as he readied for the next hand.
Fortunately for Mordenti, he managed to scoop a multi-way pot two hands later with a rivered pair of sixes to bring him back to 110,000.
