Action folded to Sebastian Mortensen, who opened to 2,500 from the Lo-jack. Seated right next to him, Gaspar Querillacq three-bet to 7,500 from the Hi-jack. Back to Mortensen, who four-bet to 16,500. “Not enough action,” the Poker Gods declared; Querillacq five-bet to 26,000, and Mortensen settled with a call.

Mortensen check-called 8,000 from Querillacq on the K♦3♣4♥ flop. After another check from Mortensen, Querillacq fired 16,000 on the J♠ turn. After a minute’s worth of consideration, Mortensen forced his opponent all in for roughly 30,000, and Querillacq made the fold as fast as humanly possible.

Sebastian Mortensen: 195,000
Gaspar Querillacq: 29,000
