Mortensen and McTaggart Lock Horns

Level 5
: 300/600, 100 ante
Denmark's Morten Mortensen has been moved to the table where Scottish pro Paul McTaggart is seated and this could lead to some fireworks as the tournament progresses.
We were hoping for such fireworks when Mortensen opened to 1,400 from early position and McTaggart called on the button. A flop ended up being checked by both players and when Mortensen fired a 1,800 bt on the
turn, McTaggart let his hand go.
