After taking a big knock early, Mike Ortiz is back climbing the counts following a pair of recent double-ups.

On the first double, Nicholas Mahabee raised to 425,000 from early position and Ortiz shoved for his last roughly 350,000. Schuyler Thornton was in the small blind and called Mahabee’s raise. Ortiz was at risk while Mahabee and Thornton battled for a side pot.

Flop:

Thornton checked. Mahabee C-bet and Thornton quickly got out of the way. Ortiz was at risk versus Mahabee.

Ortiz: for a pair of tens with an ace
Mahabee: for a pair of tens with a jack

Turn and river:

The runout improved Ortiz to Broadway and he earned a triple-up to just over 1,500,000.

————————

A few hands later and with about 1,900,000 in front of him at the time, Ortiz jammed under the gun. It folded all the way around to chip leader Peter Eichhardt in the big blind and he called.

Eichardt:
Ortiz:

Runout:

Eichardt hit the flop, but Ortiz was best following the river. Just like that, Ortiz was back in the thick of it with a healthy stack.

Michael Ortiz – 4,350,000
