Matador's Nine-Low Gored By Eight-Low
Razz:
Carlos Mortensen: (X)(X) - 
Opponent: (X)(X) - 
On third street Mortensen raised the completed bet, making it 300 to go, and his opponent made the call. Fourth street saw Mortensen's opponent bet 300, and Mortensen came along for the ride. When fifth street hit, Mortensen's opponent checked, the "Matador" led out for 600 and this time it was his opponent's turn to make the call. The action repeated itself on sixth street and when the players received their last down cards, the opponent check-called a bet by Mortensen, who stated "I have a nine."
His opponent was one better, however, with his 
for a low of A2678 and Mortensen dropped a large pot. The "Matador" is now down to 13,100 in chips, which is still a healthy stack halfway through the first day of action.
